Alright folks, buckle up for a wild ride through the world of renewable energy! Now, as much as I'm a fan of green power, I gotta admit - some sources are more problematic than others. Drumroll, please...and the award for the most troublesome renewable energy source goes to... biomass! Yep, you heard it right.

Turns out, it's not all sunshine and rainbows, coal has a pesky habit of causing a few environmental issues.

Not to mention, it also generates a bunch of waste products that would make even the most hardened garbage man cringe. Plus, coal mining operations aren't exactly a walk in the park for our lovely landscapes, leaving them looking like a lunar landing site. So, while coal might've kept our ancestors toasty, it seems the environmental cost is a bit of a cold shower!

Some like air, sunlight, and water in many parts of the world, are freely available and not traded in markets, thus lacking an economic value. Yet, they're fundamental to all life. Other examples might include scenic beauty and biodiversity, which are priceless and irreplaceable. It's important to remember that economic value doesn't equate to overall worth.
