Coal is the largest fossil fuel produced in the United States. It is a nonrenewable energy source. It could take up to millions of years to make. Coal is used foe electric power, industry, making steel, and export. The make electricity coal is burned. While it is burned it produces steam which turns into turbines which generates electricity. The separate ingredients in coal can be used to make industry items such as plastic and medicines. In order to make steel coals baked. Coal is a big export for the United States.

 * What is it?**

-2,000 lbs. of coal generates 5,720 Lbs. Of Carbon Dioxide.
 * How Much carbon Dioxide does Coal prodeuce**?




 * Does Coal Take up A Large amount of the world energy supply and why?** -YES. because coal is common source and it is easy to find. coal can be made into energy by jus simply burning it. and coal is not as expensive as other natural resources.

-Coal solves the problem money wise because it is not as expensive but as in the atmosphere coal adds to the problem. the fact that coal has to be burned effects the atmosphere. the chemical that come from coal after its burnt are not good for the air and they can add to glbal warming. some of the chemical that coal produces when burnt include carbon dioxide. -Some scientist are trying to say that coal be seen as a good thing instead of hurting the atmosphere. they are trying to say that there can be clean coal that captures carbon dioxide. they are trying to say that if you burn coal in industries such as power plants that produce carbon dioxide emissions will be caught by the coal steam. while some believe this other are arguing whether or not the coal emissions could properly capture and store the carbon dioxide emissions..
 * Does Coal Solve The Problem Or add To The Problem?**

"Coal will determine whether we continue to increase climate change or slow the human impact.....increased fossil fuel CO2 in the air today,compared to the pre-industrial atmosphere, is due 50% to coal." - Dr. James Hansen, Director, Goddard Institute for Space Studies, NASA
