b) The electr ical energy can directly be conver ted to other forms of energy
whereas the coal and gasoline would typically need to be conver ted to
heat and then into some other form of energy before being useful.

The obvious advantage of coal is that it is cheap if it is used as a
heat sour ce. Otherwise it is messy to handle and bulky for tranport
and storage.

Gasoline is an important transportation fuel. It is more convenient to
transport and store than coal. It can be used to generate electr icity by
burning it but the efficiency is limited. However , fuel cells are currently
being developed which will allow for the conver sion of gasoline to electr icity
by chemical means, a more efficient pr ocess.

Electr icity has the most uses though it is expensive. It is easy to transport
but expensive to store. As a transportation fuel it is clean but batteries to
store it on-board have limited capacity and are heavy.
