The document compares the advantages and disadvantages of various energy sources:
- Coal is a reliable fuel but causes air pollution that worsens urban air quality. Burning coal adds to existing air pollution problems in cities.
- Biogas can be used as fertilizer but methane is highly flammable and prone to explosions.
- Geothermal energy requires no fuel but risks triggering earthquakes, especially with enhanced geothermal systems.
- Hydropower is renewable and output can be adjusted, but plant locations are limited to certain areas, some of which are not near major cities.

It can provide in smoke when burned. But invaluable backup service, burning coal in any urban and highly relliable fuel for environment is only adding to house stoves. the problem.
