What is the difference between generation of electricity from coal and from candles?

-- Candles must be manufactured. You can't just dig them out of the ground in a usable form. -- Coal contains more chemical energy than candles do. You get more energy from burning a pound of coal then you get from burning a pound of candles. -- On the other hand, a power plant that burned candles would operate cleaner than one that burns coal. It might produce just as much carbon dioxide, but I suspect that there might be less sulfur and mercury to worry about.
