Salem Power Plant

The Salem port power plant poses a serious threat to public health - it may only get worse. There are serious concerns about harmful atmospheric emissions from previous waste disposal methods. That is why Bush's energy plan does not go well. In Salem Evening News, "President Bush's plan is only an oral promise to the threat of global warming, which is the greatest environmental hazard in our time." (Kert Davies) But in fact, due to contamination of fuel and coal-fired power plants every year, the number of deaths in Massachusetts has exceeded the sum of murder and drunk driving.

Belews Lake is a recorded case of poisonous fish pollution. Belews Lake, located near Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is a cooling pond for a large-scale coal-fired power plant. The fly ash produced at the power plant is put in a sedimentation tank which releases selenium-containing water to the lake. Selenium contamination: When dried, dry ash scatters the wind. The landfill is not hidden every day, ash of the repository is dangerous. Coal ash is used for bridging construction sites and projects and is used in agriculture as a "soil improvement" that is sprayed, eroded or moved on land water or surface water.

2010/07/07 Greenpeace activists investigated coal ash treatment plant belonging to Chifeng Yuanbaoshan power station in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The repository is in a small valley divided into more than 10 areas. Each part is buried one by one with coal ash and then covered with soil before planting on the ground. Within a half kilometer there is a dairy collection station of the famous dairy company. On a windy day, coal ash is scattered on the earth and covered with vegetation. Cows eating grass contaminated with coal ash will reduce the amount of milk produced by 2 kg per day. "It had a great impact on our cattle, we lost a lot of milk and a lot of calves," Chen Ayi says, pointing to a dead calf. Many people at Xinglongpo Village are very concerned about the effects of pollution on the health of dairy cows. © Zhao Gang / Greenpeace
