Cave Threatened
Posted: Feb 10, 2013 9:45 pm
From this week’s (Feb 7, 2013) USA TODAY:
A Kentucky utility seeks to fill a cave with ash. Not only is this bad public policy…but look at the excuse--they are not damaging a cave, just a “karst formation.”
IMHO, threatening karst is even more environmentally damaging since nobody knows how much "cave" there is in karst.
Here’s one for NSS to weigh in on as an organization. Here's the link:
