Burning coal is very poluting. More than oil.

Cheap? Not realy, with all those, potentialy toxic, ashes to dispose of, 
and the transportation of the needed coal.

If you must use coal power plants, make them as powerfull and effecient 
as possible and install good and effecient antipolution equipment.

That way, you'll mitigate the problem.
