Coal has several disadvantages as an energy source.
1. Burning coal releases large amounts of carbon dioxide, contributing to global warming.
2. Burning coal also releases various other pollutants which lead to acid rain and other forms of environmental harm.
3. Coal mining has always been a very dangerous business with many fatalities, which we have recently seen in China and in West Virginia.
Because coal contains carbon it releases carbon dioxide when it is burnt. Carbon dioxide is the pollution that is causing global warming.
The only real problems are that it pollutes the atmosphere and its not infinite. However, while known oil reserves are projected to only last another 50 years at our current rate of use, our coal mines have barely been touched and should continue to be a source of fuel for a long time. I guess I should also mention that it can be very dangerous to mine it. Then again that is why coal miners make the amount of money that they do.
