Updates Needed
Some of the information in this article is out of date. For instance, coal is now one of the most expensive means of electrical production. Natural gas has surpassed coal as a major energy source. Changes should be made for the sake of accuracy. https://www.eia.gov/electricity/annual/html/epa_08_04.html https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=427&t=3
- Anti-coal policy and anti-coal government regulations raised the cost of coal. Still likely cheaper than most other sources but you do have a link! Maybe research other nations use of coal first. --Jpatt 21:45, 19 April 2017 (EDT)
Why was a critique of Spanish renewable energy generation added to an article about coal mining? Doesn’t make any sense. --GinnyS (talk) 13:44, 30 June 2017 (EDT)
- It shows that moving away from coal power and coal mining, whether for environmental benefits or to improve the health of coal miners, is not necessarily beneficial. --1990'sguy (talk) 13:52, 30 June 2017 (EDT)
- I’m sure you believe what you’re saying, but this is an article about coal mining, not a critique of renewable energy. Instead of complaining about renewable energy in this article, why not make the complaint in an appropriate article, say like, renewable energy?--GinnyS (talk) 14:02, 30 June 2017 (EDT)
- Thanks for the feedback. I added two more facts about coal. Conservative (talk) 16:01, 30 June 2017 (EDT)
