At least not so long as China, India and other emerging economies are developing and bringing online an average of one -- or more -- coal-burning power plants per week. Not so long as the U.S. depends upon coal-burning power plants to produce the majority of its electricity.

Foul the air.

Poison the water in rivers, streams and oceans and underground aquifers.

Cause cancers, respiratory disorders and other serious illnesses.

Load fish with mercury.

Emit more radioactivity than do nuclear power plants.

Produce massive amounts of radioactive waste most of which currently is not reclaimed or securely stored.

This is the 1957 Isetta Velam. It got between 50 and 70 miles per gallon. It sat two people. The front opened outward and the steering wheel and instrument cluster were attached and swung out with it so two adults could crouch and sit down on the single bench seat. The boy in this next photo is 5'3" tall. Probably at least 3 or 4 inches taller than I was when I first inspected one of these on the lawn of the Friends Meeting in Waynesville, Ohio.
