Although there is a huge amount left underground it is difficult to mine without cutting the top off a mountain and strip mining it as is done in places like Kentucky. Until an economic way of capturing and storing the carbon dioxide emitted by burning coal it is best left where it is.
What else can I help you with?
What are Positive affects for using coal?
Positive effects of using coal include its abundance, reliability for power generation, and affordability compared to other energy sources. Coal also supports jobs in the mining and energy sector.
What percent of your energy sources would be lost if coal runs out?
If coal were to run out, approximately 30% of the global energy supply would be lost, as coal currently accounts for around 30% of global electricity generation. This loss would necessitate a shift towards other energy sources such as renewables, natural gas, and nuclear power to fill the gap left by coal.
What is better to use instead of coal?
Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydropower are better alternatives to coal for generating electricity. These sources are more sustainable, produce fewer emissions, and have lower environmental impacts compared to burning coal.
What is coal an important resorce?
Coal is an important resource because it is a major source of energy worldwide, particularly for electricity generation and industrial processes. It is relatively abundant and cost-effective compared to other sources of energy. However, burning coal can contribute to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, which has led to increased efforts to find cleaner and more sustainable energy sources.
What are advantges of coal?
The advantage of coal is that it is easily mined. Other then that it runs out fast, it burns to C02, there is very little of it, takes really long time to produce and it is hard to convert to energy.
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).
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.
How does biomass energy create electricity?
Similar to coal, its burnt. But its better because you're burning renewable sources. :D
Is coal our primary source of energy?
No, coal is not our primary source of energy. In many countries, the primary sources of energy are oil, natural gas, and renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. Coal has declined in usage due to its environmental impact and the shift towards cleaner energy sources.
Energy sources that are in limited supply?
Coal, petroleum, nuclear energy.
What are Positive affects for using coal?
Positive effects of using coal include its abundance, reliability for power generation, and affordability compared to other energy sources. Coal also supports jobs in the mining and energy sector.
Does coal have thermal energy?
Coal by itself lacks thermal energy, apart from what is given to it by its surroundings (e.g. the Earth--which gives everything on its surface thermal energy--warm air, or other nearby sources of heat).
What are the different sources of energy in India?
thermak(coal)
Why do human's recover oil and coal?
For energy sources.
Energy sources is most abundant in the US?
Coal
Is there coal in Washington?
Yes, Washington has small coal reserves, but coal mining has decreased significantly in the state due to competition from other energy sources and environmental concerns.
How does the coal source work?
The energy in coal is chemical energy. The usual way to extract it is to burn the coal converting it to heat energy. This can then be turned into electrical energy Fuels like gasoline and coal are sources of energy which means they store energy
