How can you overcome the disadvantages of coal?
You can't overcome them! The main disadvantage of coal is that it is a non-renewable fossil fuel. Therefore it will run out in the future. We need to find viable alternative energy sources.
What is waste coal?
Waste coal is one of many names (overburden, gob, culm, bony, coal refuse etc) for an organic rock material that is generally found at or near a coal mine site/mine. It is a rock generally consisting of a combination of some carbon (coal) and indigenous rock material commonly found at or near the mine site. Since it has some but low BTU value compared to commercial grade marketplace coal it is referred to as waste coal or coal refuse today. In the past millions of tons of (prior to 1980's) the material was commonly discarded due to the fact that there wasn't a commercial use for the material. Since then a new technology was developed called CFB (Circulating Fluidized Bed) that can cleanly convert low value BTU material (such as coal refuse) into clean coal alternative energy. Today there are approximately 20 power plants in the USA removing coal refuse from our landscape and converting it into clean alternative energy...in an environmentally beneficial manner...in fact 10% of the energy generated in PA is made from coal refuse. Yesterdays waste has become today's alternative energy
Why is biomass a better alternative than coal?
The main advantage of biomass over coal is that it is "carbon neutral". This means that in order for the biomass to be created, it consumed carbon dioxide from the environment. Upon burning biomass, no additional carbon is added to our atmosphere. Coal, on the other hand, is taking carbon out of the earth and adding more to our atmosphere.
Is coal an alternative energy source?
No, coal is not an alternative energy source. "Alternative" energy sources means energy sources other than fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas).
What is the alternative for coal?

Is coal an alternative?
No. Alternative refers to resources that are not fossil fuels (the existing energy resources). Renewable energies like solar, wind and hydro are known as alternative sources of energy.
Is coal environmentally friendly or not?
No, coal is not environmentally friendly. Gathering it requires mining with machinery and burning coal produces many pollutants. Eventually, coal will run out. Solar energy is a good alternative since it is free and will not run out.
