Tell TVA to take accountability for the coal ash disaster.

"A retention wall for the TVA Kingston Fossil Fuel Plant's 84-acre fly ash containment pond collapsed, spilling out 5.4 million cubic yards of coal ash into the Emory and Clinch Rivers." (from http://www.tennesseecoalashsurvivorsnetwork.com/ )
After the horrible disaster, TVA proceeded to mislead the media and public, stating that the coal ash disaster chemicals were at safe levels. Duke University and United Mountain Defense discovered otherwise, that there were dangerously unsafe levels of toxins found.
Many residents of Harriman, Kingston, TN and surrounding areas have since became ill and have terrible health complications, the consequence of TVA's actions. The complications include arsenic poisoning, emphysema, and asthma, and nosebleeds, headache, and blurry vision for starters. There were 3 homes completely destroyed, and others damaged. A dog and other animals were killed. TVA needs to be honest with the public, take responsibility for their actions, and compensate. The victims of the disaster need to come before TVA's harmful greed. It is far too typical of industries to formulate lies about the results of their mistakes. Have a heart, TVA. You have enough money to help the victims. The victims need health care and other assistance, and you absolutely need to clean up your mistake as quickly as possible before further problems ensue. Your fabrication of the consequences will be exposed. Own up before you get yourselves and your victims into worse trouble. Take some responsibility.
