Best Answer

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.
