Using coal to create electric power requires power plants and additional steam turbines Most of the world's coal comes from mines in Russia, China, and the U.S.]]> 2019-03-21 13:43:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nicktotaro20/qi9ylt4f9a0j/wish/343780756 nicktotaro20 https://padlet.com/nicktotaro20/qi9ylt4f9a0j/wish/343785679 The heat energy created by burning coal is used to create steam, which spins an electrical turbine, creating electrical energy. ]]> 2019-03-21 13:50:47 UTC https://padlet.com/nicktotaro20/qi9ylt4f9a0j/wish/343785679 nicktotaro20 https://padlet.com/nicktotaro20/qi9ylt4f9a0j/wish/343934959 - Abundant resource in North America.
- Affordable compared to other renewable energy sources
- Coal energy has been used for decades, so old buildings will not have to be redesigned for new energy sources
-Old energy source, so all risks associate with it have been identified]]> 2019-03-21 17:59:08 UTC https://padlet.com/nicktotaro20/qi9ylt4f9a0j/wish/343934959 nicktotaro20 https://padlet.com/nicktotaro20/qi9ylt4f9a0j/wish/343937296 -Nonrenewable
-Coal emissions linked to respiratory issues and other health concerns
-Leads to acid rain
-Emissions that heavily contribute to the Greenhouse Effect]]> 2019-03-21 18:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/nicktotaro20/qi9ylt4f9a0j/wish/343937296 nicktotaro20 https://padlet.com/nicktotaro20/qi9ylt4f9a0j/wish/343938512 Coal is most commonly mined and burned in MEDC's like China, Australia, and the United States.]]> 2019-03-21 18:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/nicktotaro20/qi9ylt4f9a0j/wish/343938512 nicktotaro20 https://padlet.com/nicktotaro20/qi9ylt4f9a0j/wish/343939714 "Clean Coal" technologies are beginning to be developed, in order to make the acceleration of coal use more sustainable. A "washing" technique has been developed to be applied to coal burning facilities/smokestacks, which would decrease the toxicity of emissions. Coal use has steadily increased worldwide since 2000, despite the greater public knowledge of it's negative externalities]]> 2019-03-21 18:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/nicktotaro20/qi9ylt4f9a0j/wish/343939714 nicktotaro20 https://padlet.com/nicktotaro20/qi9ylt4f9a0j/wish/347165927 Countries in need of abundant cheap energy like India and China consistently use coal, in order to effectively support their population. More environmentally conscious countries like Denmark and Canada have decreased their consumption of coal]]> 2019-04-01 13:41:37 UTC https://padlet.com/nicktotaro20/qi9ylt4f9a0j/wish/347165927 nicktotaro20 https://padlet.com/nicktotaro20/qi9ylt4f9a0j/wish/347167398 http://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/energy-and-the-environment/clean-coal-technologies.aspx
