None, however there are many dissimilarities.

Coal is a fossil fuel. Burning it consumes a limited resource and generates CO2 which contributes to global warming.

Wind generation, like solar power and hydro-electric generation do not involve consumption of minerals. Also, they are non-polluting forms of energy.

The only connection between the two that I can draw, are that, as coal prices increase, there are more investments in wind power.

There are not many similarities between the two, but both need resources in some way solar power needs material just like coal it needs panels to absorb radiation. material to create generators. Another similarities is they both have to go through many stages to be completely energy.

Several million years.

Peat is vegetable matter that grows in boggy areas. Instead of decomposing when the plant is dead, it is covered with another layer of plants, and over time, layer after layer of partially decayed vegetable matter being slowly compressed together forms peat. We can harvest the peat and use it for fuel, especially in northern areas where there are few trees.

If nobody were to harvest the peat for a few hundred thousand years or so, when we finally dug it out it would be coal. The coal we're harvesting now in central Europe or the midwest in North America formed just that way, long ago.
