"But very little of the oil, or refined oil products."

Your point?

"And natural gas produces less CO2."

"The coal produces a lot, but it would be hard to replace."

Tim, the coal is burned to boil water. To prepare the coal for burning, it is crushed to a fine powder, which is then mixed with air and burned. There is no inherent reason why the coal can't be replaced. Granted, it would likely bypass all the equipment to handle the coal.
