(NaturalNews) Four days ago, the Associated Press reported that coal-fired power plants are dumping enormous quantities of pollutants into U.S. waterways. According to the Associated Press, the EPA says that coal-fired power plants are dumping nearly 2 million pounds of aluminum, 79,000 pounds of arsenic, 64,000 pounds of lead and even 2,820 pound of mercury each year into U.S. waterways. This original story by the AP [2] (dated January 18, 2014) was published, word-for-word, across the Denver Post [3], ABC News [4], the Washington Post [5], the San Jose Mercury News [6] and even Salon.com [7]. There's only one problem with all this reporting: nobody bothered to check their sources.
