- ahhell, on 07/16/2009, -2/+9It's called lots of money. The US gubment is so bloody corrupt it's pathetic.
- The2DQuartet, on 07/16/2009, -0/+6WTF #1: Site down after only 119 diggs
WTF #2: duggmirror.com redirects to amazon.com - altgeeky1, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3You didn't read the article did you. The list was not made up by regulators.
- arpad, on 07/16/2009, -1/+4Har! So the regulators need regulators. I'm sure the folks who brought us this fine situation will be much more careful with the public's medical care.
- jasdf, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Here is the story:
Someone from the power company had sexual intercourse with someone from the EPA. Now the EPA is being blackmailed to keep the site off the list. - avuton, on 07/16/2009, -1/+3Better than a mirror, 50 mirrors.

I will agree the electoral college has some problems and I think it worked fairly well until we moved to direct election of senators.
I am not sure what would be a better system than either of the two mentioned though. - yaosio, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1The ash pond no longer exists, it is now an ash field.
- martzmart, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Looks like the EPA swept it under the rug...
- altgeeky1, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1There's truth to that, but it's not just lobbying and corruption.
The US electoral system is held hostage by the old Electoral College, a system designed to "count" votes in ways other than 1 person 1 vote. It's a pre-Civil War relic that lives on. Anyways all this does is polarise issues and crowd out the "center" on any issue.
In other words, you might come up with a common sense energy platform, but if you lose ALL the coal states by just a FEW PERCENT... it does not matter how well you do in other states. You couldn't for example hope to make up for narrowly losing West Virginia and Kentucky by somehow doing an extra few percentage points in New York or Idaho.
This is why every single politician from BOTH parties will promise to play along with scams like Clean Coal or Corn Ethanol. Most of the states not part of these scams are against them, but you need that magic winner-take-all electoral vote. Sad, really. - BobDle, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1***** ass news site.
- akula89, on 07/16/2009, -2/+2marginally improving one aspect of the many polluting components involved in coal burning by spending exorbitant amounts of money for this minuscule improvement can hardly be considered "clean"
- altgeeky1, on 07/16/2009, -1/+1You may be 100% correct, but working against you... the 'Clean Coal(tm)' cabal SPONSOR THE NEWS.
- ripple123, on 07/16/2009, -2/+2i guess, relative to the rest of tennessee, its a positive oasis of verdant green wilderness
- ZiggityZhang, on 07/16/2009, -6/+2Well there is, but to be more accurate there are no incentives to implement clean coal technology in power plants yet.
