Discussion of Robin Garr's Coals review

The special pizza today was Dreamcatcher. Bacon, sausage and ground beef from Dreamcatcher farms. Excellent.

What foreign energy to power our homes are you referring to? oil? last i checked, there were no oil fueled power plants. unless you have a coal powered car, i really don't see your point.

Coal gasification can be used to directly produce fuel for automobiles. In addition electricity generated by coal fired plants can be used to produce hydrogen. Using fuel cells powered by hydrogen is one of the more promising methods being studied for powering cars of the future.

Sounds interesting! I prefer a little meat and a lot of veggies (on pizza) but...I'm sure this was great!

There is a vigorous debate: between the scientific community and those who, for ideological reasons, don't want to believe the scientific community. All scientists don't agree on anything, but the conclusion that human beings are contributing to global warming is as non-controversial in the scientific community as is natural selection (whoops!). You can find scientists who disagree, but they are, as the saying goes, the exceptions that prove the rule.

Science is not done by consensus. Consensus does not prove a theory. And consensus can be illusory or insignificant when it conceals lack of consensus on critical details. If I tell you that there is universal consensus among meteorologists that it's going to get colder this winter and that therefore we should all plan for twelve feet of snow and sub-zero temperatures for months, you'd be justified in questioning my assertion by pointing out that meteorologists aren't in agreement at all about how cold it's going to get, or for how long.

Now look at the few climate scientists who have actually looked at the data firsthand and made predictions about exactly how much global temperatures are going to increase, and in what time frame, and you will find ZERO consensus. The predictions are all over the map, from less than 1 degree C (inconsequential) to 7+ degrees C (end of civilization as we know it). Most of the scientists who have tried to answer that question have admitted there's no way to know. Consensus is illusory or insignificant when it conceals a lack of consensus on critical details.

Thank you for pointing out that consensus is not part of the scientific method. Consensus is riddled with all sorts of bias.

Consensus is utilized in medicine quite a bit. If you spend any time following the medical literature you will note that the "consensus" on any given issue changes - and not all that infrequently.

The meatballs in the parmesan bechamel sauce were really good too.

I've never had anything at Coals that I didn't like. I love that place.

Coal's is good - not great IMO. It's just not a style of pizza that "floats my boat".

I'll be the 4th!

This in no way is meant to diminish the rest of the menu.....

The best thing I had at Coal's pizza was dessert.

I love Coal's! It may be my favorite pizza in Louisville.

Everybody needs to lose 20lbs to save the climate!

So, since Coals is burning coal and making us fat, they should be placed on double, secret probation!

Mark me down as #5.

IMO, Coal's is the best pizza in Louisville. Everything I've had there (numerous pies, meatball / arancini apps, salads, and the tiramisu) has been stellar. Their lunch deal...a pizza and salad for around $8 is unbeatable!

Papalino's is a very close second, IMO! Still need to try the pizza at Garage.
