Why cannot draw wires from a piece of wood or coal?
Wood and coal are poor conductors of electricity, meaning they do not allow electricity to flow easily through them. In order to conduct electricity, a material needs to have free-moving electrons, which wood and coal lack. Therefore, drawing wires from wood or coal would not establish a conductive path for electricity.
What was the first railroad to switch from burning wood to burning coal?

Why Are log burning stoves good?
Well if you have access to free or cheap wood then they are very economical, also they are environmentally friendlier than coal, oil or electricity.

How does coal work to produce energy?
Think of coal like wood. In a wood stove or furnace, wood is burned to produce heat. Coal contains more energy and is cheaper that wood, however wood is renewable. The large coal power plants that run use coal to produce heat by burning it, heating water. When water heats up to steam, it has more pressure. This pressure is used to turn generators. The electricity produced will be direct current. The power plant will have a converter to change the DC into AC, Alternating Current.
Is it better to burn coal or wood?
Burning wood is generally considered more environmentally friendly than burning coal because wood is a renewable resource and releases fewer harmful emissions when burned. However, both coal and wood burning can contribute to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, so it's best to minimize the use of either and explore more sustainable alternatives for heating and energy production.
What is a wood or coal partly burned but no longer flaming called?
