∙ 11y agoMain advantage-coal is readily available at a fairly stable price, the technology is well understood, and the efficiency of modern coal fired power plants is high.
Coal is easy to burn, so it is easy to transfer energy:
Chemical - coal
to
Heat- You burn the coal which heats water
to
Kinetic- steam has kinetic energy
Which turns the turbine inside 2 magnets
to
Electrical
