  3. Abundance • Coal- Most Abundant Fossil Fuel (should last for 250 years) • Natural Gas – Least fuel (should last 60-100 years) • Oil- 2nd abundant fuel (40-60 years)

  4. Potential Energy • Coal- Has the least amount of potential energy • Oil- Holds more potential energy than Coal • Natural Gas- Holds the most potential energy, produces the most heat

  5. Pollution • Coal- Causes the most air pollution • Oil- Less pollution than Coal • Natural Gas- Burns cleaner than coal and gas

  6. Cash Rules Everything Around Me • Coal- Least expensive • Oil- More expensive than Coal • Natural Gas- The most expensive fossil fuel

  7. Mode of Transportation • Coal- Train or Barge • Oil- Pipelines or Barge • Natural Gas- Pipelines or condensed for ships and trucks
