A 1 MW gas-fired power plant operating at full capacity for one hour would produce 1 MWh (megawatt-hour) of electricity. This is equivalent to 1000 kWh (kilowatt-hours).
A large coal-fired power plant typically produces around 500-1000 megawatts of electricity per hour, depending on its size and efficiency.
On average, it takes about 2 pounds of coal to produce 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity in a coal-fired power plant. However, this can vary depending on the efficiency of the plant and the type of coal being used.
The power output of a nuclear power plant can vary, but on average, a typical nuclear power plant produces around 1,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity. This can vary depending on the size and design of the plant.
It varies depending on the capacity of each power plant, but generally speaking, one nuclear power plant can replace multiple coal-fired power plants due to the higher energy output of nuclear energy.
The largest nuclear power plant in the world is the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, with an electrical generating capacity of 8212 MW. There is probably no theoretical maximum, since the number of reactors is rather arbitrary. I have provided a link to the Wikipedia article below.

A large coal-fired power plant typically produces around 500-1000 megawatts of electricity per hour, depending on its size and efficiency.
On average, it takes about 2 pounds of coal to produce 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity in a coal-fired power plant. However, this can vary depending on the efficiency of the plant and the type of coal being used.
The number of wind turbines needed to replace a coal-fired power plant depends on several factors, including the capacity of the coal plant, the average wind turbine output, and local wind conditions. Generally, a typical coal-fired power plant has a capacity of about 500 megawatts (MW), while a modern wind turbine can generate between 2 to 3 MW. Therefore, it may take approximately 150 to 250 wind turbines to match the energy output of a single coal-fired power plant, assuming optimal wind conditions and turbine efficiency.
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.
The power output of a nuclear power plant can vary, but on average, a typical nuclear power plant produces around 1,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity. This can vary depending on the size and design of the plant.
It varies depending on the capacity of each power plant, but generally speaking, one nuclear power plant can replace multiple coal-fired power plants due to the higher energy output of nuclear energy.
The time it takes to produce 500 megawatts of electricity depends on the power generation capacity of the plant. If the plant has a capacity of 100 megawatts, it would take 5 days to produce 500 megawatts.
In a nutshell, it is not correct to assign human attributes (e.g., lifetimes) to inanimate objects. Consequently, the operating span of a coal fired power plant can be unlimited since any degraded or failed component can be replaced with a new one. Some of the oldest U.S. coal plants have operated since 1921. The decision on whether to make a refurbishment, or to build a new plant, is merely a question of relative economics and investment risk. For example, the cost of a single replacement part is almost always less than the cost of replacing the plant. However, in an old plant, there is a risk that many additionally worn parts also will need replacement soon. Plant owners evaluate these tradeoffs each time a major component fails and make the decision whether or not to retire the plant.

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.
Many plants produce nectar which is turned into honey by bees.
