INEFFICIENT COAL GENERATED ENERGY. An electric light “contains only about 2% of the energy content of the coal used to produce it. Imagine that the coal needed to illuminate an incandescent light bulb contains 100 units of energy when it enters the power plant. Only two units of that energy eventually light the bulb. The remaining 98 units are lost along the way, primarily as heat.” See this helpful infographic of power generation inefficiencies at each step. ”
