Explanation:

1. It is not a renewable resource.

At some point, if we are continuously using coal for our power and energy needs, it will eventually become depleted. As a fossil fuel, there is a finite supply. We may have centuries of stockpiles available in some regions, but at some point, there must be a backup plan in place that can be implemented

2. Coal contains a high level of carbon dioxide per British Thermal Unit.

Scientists believe that one of the greatest contributors to global warming is carbon dioxide that is manually produced. When comparing all forms of energy and power production that we use today, coal contains the most carbon dioxide for every BTU that is produced.

3.. Coal power can create high levels of radiation.

A byproduct of burning coal for power, called “coal ash,” produces radiation. This ash then settles around the surrounding areas of the coal plant. According to Scientific American, a coal power plant can produce up to 100 times more radiation than a nuclear power plant. Coal combustion can also produce mercury, nitrous oxide, heavy metals, and other potential environmental
