(KFYR-TV News Story 8-3-2012) North Dakota`s two Senators introduced legislation that would require coal ash to be recycled and regulated at the state level. Something that is already happening in North Dakota.
Coal ash is a by-product of coal-based electricity generation. It can be recycled and turned into construction material for roads and buildings.
The Lignite Energy Council says the law wouldn`t change much for coal plants in North Dakota.
