To produce one gigawatt (GW) of electricity continuously over a 24-hour period, you would need approximately 12,000 tons of coal. This estimate assumes an average coal-fired power plant efficiency of about 33%, which is typical for many modern plants. The exact amount can vary based on the specific type of coal used and the efficiency of the power plant.
It take 350 because that's how much Oprah weighs!!
Power plants fired by coal produce many pollutants (SOx, NOx, radiation, particulate, mercury etc.) the amounts vary by the size and fuel used at the site (not all coal produced the same contaminants). See the Links for data on typical coal plants.
The Titanic burned a total of 3,540 tons of coal, averaging 620 tons of coal per day at 21.7 knots. The Titanic had 5,892 tons of coal in approximate measure when she departed Southampton.

The amount of coal used each day can vary widely based on factors such as the size of the power plant, its efficiency, and the electricity demand. On average, a coal-fired power plant might consume thousands of tons of coal per day to generate electricity.
