What power stations produce CO2?
Coal fired power plants,Petroleum power plants,
What is a harmful gas given off by coal-burning power plants?
Sulfur Dioxide is given off by coal-burning power plants
What are the pollution statistics for coal fired power plants?
The statistics for coal fired power plants is that 13000 people are killed each year because of the air pollution caused by the 386000 tons chemical pollutants emitted from the power plants.
How is coal used today?
Today coal is mostly used for providing the fuel for electric power plants.
Do nuclear power plants pollute more than coal power plants?
No. Nuclear power is more efficient because nuclear power is used as splitting atoms, making big bursts of energy, whereas coal power is simply burning coal. So nuclear power uses uranium fission to create energy (electricity), whereas coal power burns coal, emitting carbon. (Mind you, nuclear energy leaves behind radioactive waste - that is arguably easier to deal with for the time being. Not to mention that accidents at nuclear plants can have devastating environmental effects.
What is an advantage of coal power plants over nuclear power plants?

Compare and contrast coal power plants and energy in hearing?
coal uses fossil fuels and nuclear power plants doesn't
What power stations produce CO2?
Coal fired power plants,Petroleum power plants,
Why are there more coal power plants then solar power plants?
There are more coal plants than solar plants because the cost per Mega-Watt is much less using coal than solar power, and currently coal is more efficient. The problem today is that in a environmentally conscious society coal is a 'dirty' fuel, and solar power is clean. That is why environmentalists are pushing for more Solar (and wind) power generation.
What is a harmful gas given off by coal-burning power plants?
