This graphic is an approximate recreation of the American Coal Ash Association's graph of coal ash waste versus use. The Green Grok's graphic highlights the visual difference between using the full percent scale on the right hand axis versus a fifty percent scale as found in the ACAA's original graphic. See http://www.nicholas.duke.edu/nicholas/insider/thegreengrok/graphics/coalashvuse_orig/view for more details.
