Environmentalists Oppose Coal-Fired Plant
KENTUCKY...
Environmentalists tested some Kentucky residents for mercury contamination before the start of a public hearing Tuesday regarding a proposed coal-fired power plant near Winchester. Kentuckians For The Commonwealth, the Sierra Club and the Kentucky Environmental Foundation believe simple tests of hair samples will help determine how widespread mercury contamination has become in the state, something they say regulatory agencies should consider before adding another mercury-producing power plant.
