alone.The resulting overburden from this devastation has permanently extinguished 2,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 miles ofstreams and headwaters responsible for providing drinking water for millions of Americans,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],notes Earthjustice. Every week coal companies detonate explosives equivalent to that of an atomicbomb.Don't expect the industry to suspend this destruction any time soon. America is home to one-fourth of the world's coal and they surpass global petroleum reserves in energy content. TheU.S. Department of Energy claims that half of the electricity used domestically comes from coalfired plants which makes burning coal as problematic as harvesting it. Every year 140 milliontons of coal ash waste is produced, reports the NRDC,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], containing nearly 100,000 tons of toxicmetals,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], yet the Environmental Protection Agency does not regulate coal ash because it doesnot consider it to be toxic. But the magma-like waste,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as it flows from the power plant thatproduced it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hardly looks ... healthy.Fair believes we all play a part in this wear and tear
