Will Murray Energy Finally Stop Polluting Ohio?

It happened again. Murray Energy's coal pipeline carrying toxic coal slurry through southeast Ohio burst open last Friday, flooding a pristine creek and surrounding areas with thick, black sludge.
This is at least the seventh time since 1999 that coal slurry has poured into the creek, killing fish and putting the future of the already endangered eastern hellbender salamander at risk.
Even after seven spills, Murray Energy is applying for permission to build another sludge impoundment that would bury a whole stream and put entire communities at risk of contaminated water and a catastrophic breach.
Murray "Slurry" Energy has proven that coal slurry is toxic and that they can't be trusted to handle it. Just look at the tragically polluted gully that once was Captina Creek.
