Although there is a huge amount left underground it is difficult to mine without cutting the top off a mountain and strip mining it as is done in places like Kentucky. Until an economic way of capturing and storing the carbon dioxide emitted by burning coal it is best left where it is.

How does the energy source coal work?
The energy in coal is chemical energy. The usual way to extract it is to burn the coal converting it to heat energy. This can then be turned into electrical energy Fuels like gasoline and coal are sources of energy which means they store energy
What percent of your energy sources would be lost if coal runs out?
8%
What gives off more energy Anthracite coal or bituminous coal?
Anthracite coal, it insulates the heat energy better and has more light energy when lit.
What is coal energy?
Coal energy is energy derived from the burning of coal. Coal is essentially fossilized carbon.
Why is coal an example of chemical energy?
we get energy out of coal by chemical methods may be by combustion or by any other means but not physically by direct means .( however we can convert any form of energy into any other form.)
Is coal an alternative energy source?
No, coal is not an alternative energy source. "Alternative" energy sources means energy sources other than fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas).
Why is coal better than other resources of energy?
Coal is not better than other energy sources. It is easy to dig up and cheap, if the company does not pay a carbon price, but it emits vast amounts of carbon dioxide which is causing global warming.Of the fossil fuels, natural gas is better than oil, and oil is better than coal, regarding their CO2 emissions, but they all pollute.Any renewable energy source is better, solar, hydro, wind, tidal, wave, geothermal and biofuel.
What are the pros and cons of coal mining?
Coal mining is dangerous and usally cause cave ins. They usally found some type of poison in coal mines like carbon-monoxide Pros We can find other energy sources other coal. Cons Coal mining cause cave ins. Coal miners usally found poisonous gases like carbon-monoxide. Pros We can find other energy sources other coal. Cons Coal mining cause cave ins.

How does biomass energy create electricity?
Similar to coal, its burnt. But its better because you're burning renewable sources. :D
Energy sources that are in limited supply?
Coal, petroleum, nuclear energy.
Why do human's recover oil and coal?
For energy sources.
What are the different sources of energy in India?

2 main sources of energy?
Coal and uranium
Energy sources is most abundant in the US?
Coal
Does coal have thermal energy?
Coal by itself lacks thermal energy, apart from what is given to it by its surroundings (e.g. the Earth--which gives everything on its surface thermal energy--warm air, or other nearby sources of heat).
