-- Candles must be manufactured. You can't just dig them out of the ground

in a usable form.

-- Coal contains more chemical energy than candles do. You get more energy

from burning a pound of coal then you get from burning a pound of candles.

-- On the other hand, a power plant that burned candles would operate cleaner

than one that burns coal. It might produce just as much carbon dioxide, but I

suspect that there might be less sulfur and Mercury to worry about.
