At the rate at which coal is being used curently, it is not.
Oil
Coal stores energy from the sun in the form of chemical energy
The energy stored in coal that is converted to heat is chemical energy. Of course coal, like any other matter, also has stored nuclear energy.
yes. chemical potential energy
Radiant energy is sustainable because we can handle it ex.we can handle the light from radiant energy.

Sustainable energy sources are renewable. They don't wear out. They are not subject to depletion such as fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Examples of sustainable resources are wind, water and solar energy. one that wont run out
nocan not be replaced / takes a long time to form

Coal is obviously not renewable, as it took millions of years to form, but there is still plenty of coal in many countries, so it will no doubt go on being used, mainly to produce electricity, also iron in blast furnaces.
Fossil fuels
No, it is a non-renewable form of energy.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by sustainable, but solar energy will be available until the Earth dies. So, in that sense it is sustainable. On the other hand it is not economically feasible as a broad based source of energy, so in that sense it is not sustainable.

The kinds of company that Peabody Energy Corporation is defined as would be a coal company. They are the largest private sector coal company in the world also claim to provide sustainable mining and clean coal solutions.
