Some disadvantages of coal powered plants are; 1. a coal powerplant produces 3700000 tons of CArbon dixode in a year. this is also one of the main causes of global warming. 2. all the Mercury taken from the coal has to be disposed, and usually it is disposed in a lake.

What is the good thing about coal and the bad thing about coal?
Coal gives us power but to get this we have to pollute
What are some advantages of solar power plants?
The main advantage of solar power plants is how good they are for the environment by releasing no greenhouse gasses like fossil fuels do. Also the energy source from the sun is not going to run out like coal and oil will.
What are the good things about coal?
There's still plenty of it.
Bad things about coal that can be good?
you can make pencils with it
Is A Coal Power Station Better Than A Nuclear Power Station?
yes a coal is nature nuclear uses lots of power Process for production of power from coal is very inefficient , More over it produces lot of carbon dioxide in to atmosphere (harmful green house gas). While Process for production of power from Nuclear plant is very good when compared with coal power. But initial and maintenance cost is very high. Unit cost for coal power is more economical than nuclear power. So economically coal power station is better. But on the basis of efficiency Nuclear power stations are good. When the deaths caused by the two types of mining are considered, coal fired systems have a much higher overall death rate. But the coal mining industry is improving this.
What is the example of thermal power plant?
A good example of a thermal power plant is run that is coal fired.
What produces cheaper electricity coal burning power station or a nuclear power stastion?
I think they are similar, but the cost of coal varies widely and transport can cost a lot. The costs of nuclear look good on paper but cost overruns are frequent and present predictions are not reliable as no plants have been built for a long time, in the US at least.
Is coal a good fuel?
Coal is a convenient, low cost fuel. However, coal is also dirty, producing air borne particulate matter and numerous dangerous compounds. Acid rain is a result of the burning of high sulfur coal. Coal often contains heavy metals that are extremely hazardous to life. New generation coal fired power plants are much cleaner, but very expensive and rarely required by environmental laws in the US.
What are the good points of using coal?
the good points of coal are it gives us electricity, we need to power our vehicles.Because you can reuse it but the bad thing is that it takes a long time to heat up ..... !!
