    The worst part about gas are all the leaks on site. Once it’s in the air, you can’t get it out. Often they don’t even burn the gas and just let it leak straight into the atmosphere. And we didn’t even get to liquifying the product or address the environmental cost of fracking for example. Meanwhile when coal falls off an excavator you just pick it up again.

    If you care about the environment, go renewable. Gas isn’t magic and sugar coating won’t clean coal.
