Energy is consumed to mine and transport the coal.
Coal is on its way out, so is not a sensible standard of comparison.
Aren't they building new coal(!!!) power plants recently?
It's almost as if not wanting to use coal is not the same as having an alternative to coal
Hint: no one is building coal plants. Coal is being phased out. Your competition is not coal.
Time to start burning coal again!
