Crazy Crap / Woods Opportunity Knocks in TVA Ash Spill
Posted by Jeff Woods on Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 8:45 AM
That 1 billion gallons of toxic sludge that burst from the Kingston Fossil Plant? OK, that was an environmental disaster. But let's look on the bright side. We can make bowling balls out of it. And one enterprising businessman is ready to cash in.
"You don't want to throw it in food, but I think you could put it in the products we use everyday," says Tracy Wandell, president of a company named Sphere Services and an Anderson County Commissioner. "Building products, bridges, roads, things of that nature."
And bowling balls. Turns out, cenospheres, the light gray solid that rises to the top of fly-ash, also serves as the core of many bowling balls, according to this Knoxville TV station which sent a reporter to a bowling alley to find out what bowlers thought about that. Opportunity knocks.
