#coalash — Public Fediverse posts

#EPA extended the public comment deadline on a rule that would weaken oversight of toxic #coalAsh waste. All comments must be submitted on or before Monday, June 29, 2026.

If finalized, this rule could allow coal plant operators to avoid stronger cleanup requirements, leave leaking coal ash sites in place, and give polluters more room to contaminate groundwater near communities.

Scientists find huge trove of #RareMetals needed for clean energy hidden inside toxic coal waste | CNN https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/06/climate/coal-ash-rare-earth-elements/index.html Scientists analyzed #CoalAsh from power plants across the United States and found it could contain up to 11 million tons of rare earth elements — nearly eight times the amount the US has in domestic reserves — worth around $8.4 billion

It offers a huge potential source of domestic #RareEarth elements without the need for new mining,
