Toxic Waste Spill in North Carolina: Coal Ash (Part 1)
Coal ash, which contains many of the world's worst carcinogens, is what's left over when coal is burnt for electricity. An estimated 113 million tons of coal ash are produced annually in the US, and stored in almost every state — some of it literally in people's backyards. With very little government oversight and few safeguards in place, toxic chemicals have been known to leak from these storage sites and into nearby communities, contaminating drinking water and making residents sick.
On February 2, 2014, up to 39,000 tons of coal ash and 27 million gallons of contaminated water spilled out into the Dan River in North Carolina after a pipe broke underneath a coal ash pond at a Duke Energy power plant. The environmental disaster thrust Duke Energy, the country’s largest electricity compan...

NC Moves to Protect Polluters, Sticks Residents with Hog Waste
On March 23, 2017, lawmakers in Raleigh filed House Bill 467 to severely limit the amount that people polluted by hog and poultry waste can seek in damages from livestock corporations. Though it would no longer apply to pending litigation, this bill still takes power away from the courts and places it in the hands of legislators who have been bought and sold by the livestock industries. Residents argue that Smithfield has targeted communities of color and low-income communities, and they should have the right to seek compensation for ALL of their suffering—economic, mental, physical, and spiritual.
On March 29, activists came to the state capitol to speak truth to power. But we can only win this fight if you’re involved as well. If you live in North Carolina, call Governor Roy Cooper at ...

The environmental disaster thrust Duke Energy, the country’s largest electricity company, into the spotlight, revealing a history of violations and inadequate oversight of ponds at all of its plants across the state.
In part one, VICE News travels to North Carolina to visit a river that’s been poisoned with arsenic from a nearby Duke Energy site, speak with a resident who has found toxic heavy metals in her drinking water, and question a Duke Energy spokesperson about the power company’s policies.
