The big problem of small gas leaks
By adamg on Mon, 02/29/2016 - 6:50am
WBUR reports on our leaky natural-gas pipeines.
A problem that amounted to the direct loss into the atmosphere of 3 percent of all the natural gas consumed in 2012. That’s according to Phillips and his colleagues at Harvard, Duke and Stanford universities. If anything, that number is conservative, Phillips says. And if you think 3 percent is small, think again.

Map of gas leaks
I dont remember where I first found this site which maps gas leaks, maybe here on Uhub. It's quite alarming, especially in the city of Boston. It's also referred to in one of the links at the end of the WBUR article.

THIS is why natural gas is
THIS is why natural gas is not a greener alternative to oil and coal or a step in the right direction or the lesser of two evils or however people want to frame it.
Coal? Really??
Are you really trying to defend coal as a clean fuel?
There is no perfect energy source today. Every energy choice has it's trade-offs. But coal?
