well first of all it pollutes. also coal is nonrenewable so we would run out anyway. it would not be reliable. wind, solar, or hydroelectric energy are more reliable becuase they are renewable and do not pollute.. coal is also mined which is bad for the environment. some people dont do reclamation so its bad
