This [0] is a picture of what used to be a stream in Southeast Ohio. Coal mines shuttered 100 years ago are still leaking acid drainage into it.
Southeast Ohio is rife with acid mine drainage like this from coal mines active in the late 1800's and early 1900's. These negative externalities weren't priced in any more than those of AEP in the 60's and 70's or the natural gas industry today.
