Coal is special because it has high energy content and can be burned to produce heat, electricity, and various industrial processes. It has historically played a significant role in powering industrial revolutions and infrastructure development due to its abundance and relatively low cost compared to other energy sources. However, burning coal also has environmental drawbacks, such as air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
