When coal is burned, it releases a lot of energy as heat and sulphur dioxide that can contribute to the pollution of the air. Sulphur dioxide is the main cause of acid rain, which can damage lakes and rivers, harming wildlife and destroying crops. Many countries including the United States, have banned coal mining due to the acid rain threat.

Although coal is a major source of pollutants, it is still an essential component of heating. It is the most sought-after fossil fuel, and it is cheaper than other fossil fuels like natural gas and oil. In addition, coal is a very energy efficient fuel that produces plenty of heat per pound.
