In many cases coal is mined in sensitive grassland and wetland habitats - causing significant water pollution. Power stations also rely on large amounts of freshwater in the cooling towers as part of the power production process.
How efficient are thermal power stations?
Coal fired plants about 40 percent, nuclear reactors (PWR) about 33 percent
