Coal power stations use many different resources as a steam kettle, electrity and turbines.
The most significant resource that a coal fired power station uses is of course coal. Coal is a non renewable natural resource and mining of coal has significant negative effects. 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.
Coal is a natural resource.
You can use coal to power a train, car, truck or boat. You can also use it to power a house if you have enough
You save coal by not using it, and use other resources to replace it, like um.... well, just use something burnable, or something like that. So anyway, you save coal by not using it.
Coal-fired power plants produce electricity for our homes. People also use charcoal for barbecuing.

Coal fired steam driven power stations are still in use
the thermal power stations are not only located in India, they are located in the part of the world where there are coal reserves, India has large coal reserve located in various parts of M.P,C.G,JHARKHAND & KOLKATA,this is the reason behind the location of thermal power stations in India,as these stations use coal for the generation of electricity
The coal mines dig up the coal from under the earth. The coal is then sold to whoever wants it. Some industries use coal for power. Coal-fired power stations are a huge buyer of coal. They burn the coal to heat water and use the steam to turn turbines which produce electricity. This electricity is then passed on to Energy Companies who sell the power to us.
Coal, natural gas, and nuclear mostly, very little oil now. Also some wind power.
Yes - some power stations located on the coast use sea water to cool the condensers. Examples of this include:Gladstone Power Station in Queensland, AustraliaKoeberg Nuclear Power Station in South Africa
Coal is a natural resource.
The majority of he UK's electricity is generated by coal or gas-fired power stations. We also use nuclear power, wind and wave generators.
Them most commonly used fuels in UK power stations are fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, and oil. Nuclear fuels like plutonium and uranium are sometimes used as well.
The fuel that India uses most to generate electricity is coal. Second to coal is hydro power and then natural gas resources.

With the exception of nuclear power stations (which are classed as 'thermal'), all other 'thermal' power stations use combustible fuels, including coal (usually pulverised), oil, gas, wood-chips, etc. I visited a sugar plantation, in Indonesia, where the waste material (pulverised) from the processed sugar cane was used as the main fuel in their on-site power station.
