Just two years to go, and we may see the earth diminishing of its abundant of fly ash disposed off onto it especially from coal-burning power plants. But how? Henry Liu, a retired civil engineering professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia has a reply to it. He would built your homes with these fine powder loaded with mercury, lead and other toxic chemicals!
Don’t worry. He is not to dump these into your home literally! He plans to make weather-resistant bricks out of this fly ash, an estimated 70 million tons of which is produced as byproduct each year in the U.S. To pursue with the venture, Liu recently received a grant of $500,000 from the National Science Foundation.
