It was a simple question but back in February after the big coal ash spill it needed a quick answer: Were the coal ash ponds a ticking time bomb or nothing to worry about?

How can that be?
Government is slow and cumbersome and moves like a herd of turtles but you’d have thought this once the herd would be charging but, alas, turtles are turtles – ten months later we still don’t know if coal ash ponds are leaking microscopic vermin into groundwater and who is – or isn’t – drinking it.
