Hydrocarbon contains no oxygen. Describing impurities in coal is not coal. Coal is carbon.

But since you insist that coal is a hydrocarbon, that would make it a renewable fuel.

Please provide proof that coal is carbon and not a substance that CONTAINS carbons and other substances.

Coal tar extracted from coal contains many organic compounds.

Coal tar is mixture of about 200 substances. The products, those are obtained from coal tar, are used as starting materials for manufacturing various substances used in everyday life and in industry. E.g. explosives, paints, roofing materials, synthetic dyes, drugs, perfumes, plastics, photographic materials, etc.

The loons in Texas are like abused women, no matter how much abuse you get from someone who supposedly loves you, ie the gov.....he still manages to stick a fork up your ass and all these lunatics do is say, thank you gov can I have some more....what losers these ppl are and they have the nerves to want to succeed from the Union, like go already, who wants you!!

Coke is a grey, hard, and porous coal-based fuel with a high carbon content and few impurities, made by heating coal in the absence of air. Coal tar is made with Coke and Coal

Coke is produced by heating coal at high temperatures, for long periods of time. This heating is called “thermal distillation” or “pyrolysis.” In order to produce coke that will be used in blast furnaces, coal is usually thermally distilled for 15 to 18 hours, but the process can take up to 36 hours.

Coal is like a cake mix. A cake mix contains flour and sugar baking powder etc. A cake mix isn't just flour and we don't call it flour. Coal contains carbon and sulfur and oxygen and hydrogen . We don't call coal CARBON because coal is a mixture of different things.


If coal was simply just carbon there would not be 4 different types of coal..

• Lignite makes up the largest portion of the
world’s coal reserves. A soft, brownish-black coal,
lignite forms the lowest level of the coal family.
The texture of the original wood can even be
seen in some pieces primarily found west of the
Mississippi River.
• Subbituminous is next on the scale. It is a dull
black coal. It gives off a little more energy (heat)
than lignite when burned. It is mined mostly in
Montana, Wyoming, and a few other western states.
• Bituminous has even more energy. Sometimes
called “soft coal,” it is found primarily east of the
Mississippi River in midwestern states like Ohio
and Illinois and in the Appalachian mountain
range from Kentucky to Pennsylvania.
• Anthracite is the hardest coal and gives off
the greatest amount of heat when burned.
Unfortunately, in the U. S., as elsewhere in the
world, there is little anthracite coal to be mined.
Th e U.S. reserves of anthracite are located
primarily in Pennsylvania

So you are arguing that coal is a renewable resource.
