I have read that the number of tons of coal is about 5 to be equivalent of a tank full of gasoline. Admittedly coal is much dirtier than gas so how much pollution will be added on top of oil pollution.

Its the dirty little fact they won’t talk about.

Have a good day.

10,000 pounds of coal to generate enough electricity to move a car about 300 miles? Uh, I don’t think that sounds right...
