Even without considering the amount of energy produced, it’s nothing.

The US has accumulated 83.000 tons in decades. Compare that to the billions of tons CO2 that coal plants blow into the atmosphere.



Coal plants do not just blow CO2 into the atmosphere. What is left after burning coal is highly toxic and does not degrade.
