Option 1 : Only argument I is strong  

Coal might look like a cheap source now. But taking into account the time it takes to replenish, time when it would be unavailable is not far. Moreover, scarcity would lead to increase in prices and burning of coal releases harmful pollutants in air. So, there is a need to search for better and sustainable energy sources. Thus, only argument I is a strong argument and argument II is a weak argument.
