Coal se dirtiest la nan tout konbistib fosil. Lè boule, li pwodwi emisyon ki pou kontribiye pou rechofman planèt la, kreye lapli asid, ak polye dlo. Ak tout nan enterè a ak rechèch ki antoure nikleyè enèji, énergie, ak biocarburants, anpil panse ke chabon se finalman sou wout li soti. Sepandan, chabon jenere mwatye nan elektrisite a nan Etazini yo ak nan tout mond lan jodi a. Li ap gen chans pou kontinye fè sa osi lontan ke li nan bon mache ak abondan [Sous: Enèji Enfòmasyon sou Administrasyon].

Coal is the dirtiest of all fossil fuels. When burned, it produces emissions that contribute to global warming, create acid rain, and pollute water. With all of the interest and research surrounding nuclear energy, hydropower, and biofuels, many think that coal is finally on its way out. However, coal generates half of the electricity in the United States and throughout the world today. It will likely continue to do so as long as it’s cheap and plentiful [Source: Energy Information Administration].
