Audio: Unedited Duke Energy media tour 020414



I’ve had some tech issues and can’t tell you how irritating it is to have only audio on this right now; I’ll re-upload it ASAP. (It takes a while, so patience please!) For now, though, the audio for those who are interested.



Two days after the start of the coal ash spill at Duke Energy’s Dan River coal plant, the company hosted a media for a tour of the site. Company spokesperson Erin Culbert and head of decommissioning, Issa Zarzar, lead the tour and answer questions for reporters near the edge of the coal ash pond that sunk in after a corroded metal pipe gave way and allowed for a release of coal ash into the Dan River, a drinking water sources for many communities in Virgina, including Danville and South Boston.
