Coal may sound like a nifty energy solution because we have lots of it, but if you grew up in western Pennsylvania or West Virginia (or a few other similar places), you might have a different outlook. I have seen the tops literally lopped off of mountains, huge areas of forest turned into piles of shale, and streams running yellow and orange with mine runoff.
It's not pretty.
If you don't live in a coal producing area, you might not realize how much damage coal mining does, but it's a lot and it's UGLY.
Make fun of those who are trying to save some of our country's beauty if you like, just don't complain about it when it (as well as the coal) is gone.

in order to generate electricity you should have a set of ways in your country to control inflation and also take the advantage of local energy sources ,coal is a good source of energy when the price of oil raise then because there would be less demand for oil it will set the price ,SO THERE IS NO INSTEAD YOU SHOULD USE SET OF WAYS

no question that nuclear potential is so lots extra powerful than coal, for green residences gases, and basically undeniable pollution. did you recognize that one coal plant releases extra radioactivity into the air than 10 equivalent nuclear plant life? to no longer count extensive style the a lot of mercury, cadmium and a lot of different truly risky pollution. i detect it relaxing that folk problem concerning to the tiny volume of mercury in a CFL lamp whilst the coal plant interior of reach is dumping a lot of mercury into the ambience. .

The best is the use of sun, wind and other renewable energies, don't continue burning things.

We should build modern nuclear facilities in the USA. More off-shore wind farms and perhaps come up with more effective solar panels for the southwest.

They generate tons of hot air, but there is no way to haness it.

I don't think drippy things burn very well.
