The Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989. The toxic waste incident at Love Canal in 1978. The Kingston Fossil Plant fly ash slurry spill in Roane, Tenn., in 2008. What? There was a massive environmental disaster in 2008? Yes, and if you’ve never heard of the Kingston spill, chances are you’re not alone.
At the tail end of last year, one of the worst environmental disasters in the U.S. occurred with relatively little exposure or media coverage. This spill was seemingly swept under the rug in the midst of the holidays and an unraveling economic crisis.
