2,000,000 times

Explanation:

One gram of U-235 produces approximately 2,000,000 times more energy than one gram of coal.

The energy in 1g of U-235 is a nuclear energy whereas energy obtained from coal is chemical energy by combustion. During combustion chemical bonds are broken between the carbon atoms.

Uranium decays the radioactive fission.
When it is bombarded with particles, an artificial disintegration is induced.
Most nuclear reactions are chain reactions in which one step leads to another until stability is produced.
Each step produces energy for the next process.
