- disadvantage
- Coal power plants emit pollution such as carbon dioxide, sulfur, mercury, selenium and arsenic. Technologies to reduce coal power plant emissions are expensive. Coal mining impacts significantly on the landscape
- disadvantage
- Oil
- Advantages
- Stable, large scale and high-power electricity generation. Relatively cheap to extract and convert
- Disadvantage
- Oil power plants are highly polluting.Oil exploration impacts on the landscape. Oil extraction risks environmental disasters.
