No one knows how long it takes, but the current supplies of oil apparently date from organisms that lived hundreds of millions of years ago.
The precise time required for the chemical changes could be as little as several thousand years, or as long as several million years.

1-2 years
A long time

millions of years
Coal is a fossil fuel formed in ecosystems where plant remains were preserved by water and mud from oxidization and biodegradation thus, sequestering atmospheric carbon. Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources because they take millions of years to form, and reserves are being depleted much faster than new ones are being formed. so coal is nonrenewable
millions of years
Depends on the amount of electrical energy they (need to) generate. How much does the average nuclear plant generate ? How much does the average coal plant generate ?
100 million years (APEX) ;)
Technically no, but the the supply of coal in the Appalachian mountains will rebuild itself over the millions of years that coal forms. Coal forms from the dead remains of once living organisms. Since the organism(s) aren't solid it will take millions of years for he coal o form a solid substance.
it takes sevaral thousandes of yearsor more
100-300+ Million Years Ago
it depends on the plant but some take about 5-10 days
