The short explanation of this alert was:

Tell TVA to Take Responsibility for Toxic Coal Spills!

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is the biggest consumer of coal in the United States and last Christmas residents living near the TVA Kingston Steam Plant were flooded with approximately 1.6 billion gallons of coal waste after a retaining wall at the facility failed.

The spill was 40 times the size of the Exxon Valdez, has caused severe health problems, and polluted the water and the air quality throughout the region. So far the TVA hasn't taken full responsibility for the spill and another could happen at any time.

Please send a letter to TVA CEO Tom Kilgore and tell him that you support the residents of Tennessee who are calling for the TVA to be held accountable for this spill.
