Hey Pat, from a pollution perspective how does clean coal compare to natural gas? I would imagine that regarding the actual burning part, natural gas is way cleaner. But when you factor in what has to be done to extract these fuel sources, is natural gas still considered cleaner? I ask because based on what I've heard or read, natural gas is the real enemy of coal, not Obama or the EPA. Natural gas here in the US has become readily available due to fracking technology, and its price has dropped considerably as a result. Many coal burning power plants over the last few years have converted to natural gas. The US carbon dioxide output has dropped noticeably as a result of this shift to natural gas. But, naturally there are other factors to consider, other than just air pollution. |

strictly burning, they are designed to be almost the same. post-extraction, natural gas is way cleaner. there aren't gnarly solids and byproducts left after burning like there are with coal (slurry, etc). it's tough evaluating the extraction part. personally, i'd lean towards coal being "cleaner" because it's really 1 extraction point and ecosystems are typically still natural on top of coal mines (unless it's a strip mine, that's a whole different beast). natural gas is clearing, grading, trenching, piping, fracking, etc. coal you just load into a truck and drive other places. it really is a situational thing. but i think that barring sloppy work and avoiding sensitive habitats, natural gas is cleaner overall. |

well that's something you have to deal with. i was in a haunted house and a worker grabbed my shoulder and i reacted and spun and grabbed him in the throat (like a punch/grab). i didn't try to do it, i know i was in a haunted house. it's fight or flight. though you weren't scaring him. but at least you knew what was coming before it did. |

Ugh, people keep trying to pass me in the hallways here at work on the wrong side. Is it just me, or is walking down a hallway like driving? You stay to the right, and when you pass someone coming the other direction, they should be to your left. It's just natural! What is wrong with all these freaking people!!? |

My dog passes me on the left, too, but she's a Border Collie, which are from the UK where they drive on the left. So that makes sense, right? |

If possible, I think it's always best to pass on the left whether by car, bike, or walking. But walking on a busy sidewalk or at a busy event, I think it's all just improvisation and you take whatever space is available. |

Selling one of my hockey stick chairs and trading another for some tattoo work. Also, put the finishing touches on the Stanley Cup the other night for a friend in Edmonton and he's paying more for this one than what my brother paid for his. Didn't think my work could generate such a return. Win. |

A super-religious, evangelical Christian girl that I went to high school with just put lyrics of "Freewill" by Rush as her status. I don't think she understands the song. |
