Serious question, why do the Oil Sands receive so much negative attention and coal does not?

I'm not trying to say "well they're bad too so we're ok", because I hate it when this arguement is made. The Oil Sands do have a huge environmental impact. Don't paint it any other way.

But really, coal is really bad. And its used to make electricity, something that today is being produced renewably. The only alternative to the Oil Sands right now is to buy it from someone else.

It just baffles me.
