  Externalities and Slurry

  One thing about the disaster is the thought that would we not expect virtually all coal plants like this one to also have a similar amount of waste?

  And if so... what do they do with it?

  and do they do something different enough with it such that they don't have the problems that this plant had?

  there are also other externalities besides this - and besides greenhouse gases - mercury - which is poisoning our rivers and the critters that live in them.

  I don't know what the answer is but folks in Europe and California use about 1/2 the electricity per capita and many other US States do and what that means is that those folks are generating about 1/2 as much externalities as those who use twice as much electricity.
