Coal is an abundant fuel source that is relatively inexpensive to produce and convert to useful energy. However, producing and using coal affects the environment. Effects of coal mining. Surface mines (sometimes called strip mines) were the source of about 64% of the coal mined

The results suggest that modern coal mining has rather nuanced effects that differ between Appalachia and the rest of the U.S. We do not find strong evidence of a resources curse, except that coal mining has a consistent inverse association with measures linked to population growth and entrepreneurship, and thereby future economic growth.

Coal : Prime Source of Energy in India ¾Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel resources in India ¾Coal is the key contributor to the Indian energy scenario. ¾55% of the current total commercial energy needs is met by coal. ¾By 2024-25, the share of coal would come down marginally to about 50% of

The result of all this is barren land that stays contaminated long after a coal mine shuts down.
