What are the advantages of coal?

The advantages of coal are that it is fairly cheap to purchase and the Earth still holds large reserves of coal, at least compared to oil and gas. A lot of our infrastructure is already set up to use it. Being solid it is easy to store, and because it's not easy to ignite it's also safe to store. Another benefit coal has is that other materials can be made from it, for example fertilizers, paints, and plastics.
