Coal
Non Renewable Energy

Coal is the largest source of energy in the United States. It currently supplies 54 percent. Coal is a non renewable energy source.

It is unrealistic to cut out coal burning power plants completely in the near future. Therefore we must look at ways to significantly lower the amount of harmful bi-products created from the mining and burning of coal.

There are constantly new government regulations that force the coal industry to create cleaner burning coal.

Coal is the cheapest source of energy; however, new solar inventions are cutting that gap drastically.
