Best Answer

In my opinion, when considering fossil fuels, coal provides the most pollution in terms of released and/or generated amount of CO2 because coal has a high amount of carbon in its fuel composition provided on the unit mass basis and it has the smallest stoichiometric oxidant to fuel ratio when ideal and complete combustion takes place.

What are the enviromental impacts with nuclear energy?

Far less than fossil fuels. The amount of nuclear fuel required to make a certain amount of energy is tiny compared to fossil fuels, and therefore produces far less pollution. Most of the pollution is from mining the nuclear fuel, the only pollution from burning the fuel is "heat pollution", where the cooling towers dump waste heat into a lake or ocean and the temperature changes the ecosystem.
