Why is coal better than other resources of energy?

Coal is not better than other energy sources. It is easy to dig up and cheap, if the company does not pay a carbon price, but it emits vast amounts of carbon dioxide which is causing global warming.Of the fossil fuels, natural gas is better than oil, and oil is better than coal, regarding their CO2 emissions, but they all pollute.Any renewable energy source is better, solar, hydro, wind, tidal, wave, geothermal and biofuel.

Is solar power better than geothermal energy?

There really isn't a "better" type of energy but solar doesn't affect the Earth as much as geothermal energy because we always get the sun but with geothermal energy we have to use more resources. But then again if we have solar energy then when it's dark we don't have the sun to power things unless we stored it which is very complex. so as i said there really isn't a better energy source.

Why is petrol better than coal for cars?

Petrol is better fuel for cars than coal because coal is a solid therefore it has to be transported by lorries or trains, releasing carbon dioxide and other harmful emissions. Petrol however is a liquid and can be transported in tankers or sent through pipes. Furthermore, coal releases less energy than petrol.Additional answerIt would be fair to say that petrol is more efficient than coal in energy conversion terms. It's also less dirty (imagine your Mum filling up at a coal station!)
