You're not getting anything. You pay more for the same electricity as everyone else uses. But if thay makes you happy then go for it.

I burn high quality anthracite coal when I do burn coal. It burns cleaner than any wood I have ever burned. Most of my home heating comes from construction scraps and pallet wood that would have been sent to a land fill. My power bill is down nearly $200 a month compared to last year, all thanks to my wood stove and coal furnace. The wood stove and coal furnace will just about pay for them selves this year.
I save the coal for exceptionally cold nights.
But since you have never burned coal and don't know anything about it besides what you have been told to believe you wouldn't know.
