Mining of uranium and coal to produce electricity have been more controlled through the years and the pollution produced has been minimized‚ but do require substantial rehabilitation of the areas mined. Then the burning of these fossil fuels have staggering effects on the environment. There is the release of carbon dioxide‚ and radioactivity into the environment. The radioactivity comes from both coal-fired and nuclear powered stations. When coal combustion is the source of electricity
