How electricity works using coal?
When coal is used for electricity generation, it is usually pulverized and then burned in a furnace with a boiler. The furnace heat converts boiler water to steam, which is then used to spin turbines which turn generators and create electricity. Old coal power plants, especially "grandfathered" plants, are significantly less efficient and produce higher levels of waste heat. About 40% of the world's electricity comes from coal, and approximately 49% of the United States electricity comes from coal.
Why are alternative sources of energy preferable for future generation of electricity?
Because the burning of fossil fuels is causing global warming. We have plenty of coal around the world but we have to stop using it now because of future generations of people (as well as future generation of electricity!).
