Coal is a battery of stored energy, energy created from the sun when a living organism, plants mainly but other living materials as well before it died and became compressed into coal.
So the electricity we are getting from coal powered stations is actually solar. Think about it!!!! When you turn the lights on, the electricity produced is actually coming from the sun some 400 million years ago.
All our stored energy is from the sun, oil, coal, natural gas and even wood.
Aren't we lucky these resources exist, otherwise we'd all be freezing to death in a near by cave.
The standard of living we have today is because of and based on these solar based resources and will continue to be for a very long time to come.
You can't make steel from sun and or wind as the one main ingredient missing and required is coal. The temperatures required for steel making could never be achieved from sun or wind. Those that think it can, are hankering for the days of Fred Flintstone.

Another myth that has been overtaken by the real world.
