It's not sustainable. To be sustainable, humans (or nature itself) must be able to continually produce as much or more of any given product or activity. Solar energy is a good example of sustainable energy, since we can never use it all up. Plant-based ethanol is another example, because we can always produce more by growing more of the crops out of which it's made. Once we mine all the coal, there will be no more and no way to make more.
