Why is coal such a popular energy source now?If you drop the bucket, you can pick it up. It will stay good for a long time without special storage. If the train tips over, you can pick it up and put it back on. It is much less likely to evaporate or catch fire. There are many attractive things about it as a fuel.

An Ohio electric utility once built a Coal Pipeline.
The coal would be pulverized mixed with water in to a slurry at a lake front facility and then pumped from that facility inland to the generation facility dried there and burned.
