System efficiency is the most important point in considering which energy source has the lease environmental impact Burning coal to make steam to make electricity is only 33% efficient but because of transmission loss by the time it get to you the customer its down to 28%

Propane and natural gas to the end user is about 93% efficient. Do you really want millions of tons of coal emitting toxic sulfur and nitrogen oxides with all the accompanying solid waste?

Most Americans look at purchase price instead of energy saving payback! You can get that charcoal BBQ pit cheaper then a gas one but before you do think about your grandchildren.

Here at Youngs Propane we practice what we preach 4 of our 5-company vehicles run on propane, which the EPA says is 97% cleaner then gasoline When we change the oil in these trucks it is saved then mixed with some new oil and used in our diesel truck and in a friends tow truck and our lawn mower (propane does not contaminate oil like gasoline)

Weed control is done with a propane torch (just hit the weeds till they turn a dark green then come back two days later and sweep them away with a broom)

All brass and copper is recycled steel tank that we can no longer use are turned into air tanks or water troughs or given to a friend he saws them up and recycles the steel.
