King Coal
Every second, the world burns 275 metric tons of coal – enough to fill 10 large dump trucks. That makes nearly 17,000 tons per minute or one million tons an hour.
Quickly, the mass becomes so large that it’s difficult to comprehend its enormity but I’ll take a stab at putting it into context: Every six hours, the world consumes enough to build a coal replica of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
“Despite all the solar panels, all the windmills, the electric vehicles and the government incentives to go green, the world has never used as much coal as it’s burning this year.”
