ue to growing world
population and increasing wealth, demand for energy – specifically electricity
– is rising, especially for the 1.3 billion people who don’t have access.
The most commonly used source for electricity production
today is coal; 41% of all electricity is produced from coal, according to the
World Coal Association.
Due to its high level of pollution (water and air
pollution during mining and air pollution during burning) and often miserable
circumstances for miners, we can conclude that this is not a sustainable source
for electricity.
