It should be mandated by state legislatures to build Portable Plasma Arc Power Plants to use up and eliminate this Coal Ash Waste. Also, Georgia Tech and CERL are the American Pioneers in this Technology – http://www.cecer.army.mil POC: Dr. Ed Smith Commercial 217-373-3488 or 800-usa-cerl – Georgia Tech POC: DR. Louie J. Circeo Comm 404-894-2070 or Construction Research Center (CRC), Georgia Institute of Tech, Atlanta, GA 30332-0159. This is proven technology which has been used by Japan since the 1990s with the contrustion of over 20 plants.

We need to protect our watersheds, and preserve what is left of our mountains for future generations. The small amount of coal from mountain top removal can be extracted in other places and other ways. We MUST convert all support subsidies and action to clean (non-fossil) energy sources NOW. These amendments are political in nature and mean very little from a budgetary perspective.
