Do you know coal ash is more Radioactive than Nuclear Waste?????

The energy debate is a heated one. Every potential source of energy seems to have both pros and cons. In general, lot of people think that coal is the bad guy for the environment: it makes the air polluted  and is non-renewable. On the other hand, some people think nuclear power is the worst things that can damage the nature. The scary thought about nuclear energy is that it's so, so dangerously radioactive. Isn't it? Well, no. This fact proved to be wrong: The waste produced by coal power plants is more radioactive than nuclear waste. Who would have thought?

When coal burns in power plants to create energy, the waste that is left is called fly ash. This fly ash is the really harmful for nature. Before coal is burned, it has trace amounts of the radioactive elements uranium and thorium. Researcher have found that, after becoming fly ash, the levels of these radioactive elements grow to ten times their original potency. This becomes a very big problem for the areas around coal power plants. The fly ash leaches into the soil and water around the plants, which then affects the crops. According to one study, when all of a community's food was grown in a coal plant area, radiation doses were 50 to 200 percent higher than those near nuclear plants. So this way fly become is more radioactive than nuclear waste.
