As for Coal fired plants, its fine to shut them down once we have viable alternatives in place. We don’t yet.

Natural gas.

The big problem right now is lack natural gas supply in the winter when it also is used for heating. The older coal and fuel oil plants have been taking up the slack, sometimes only running for a month out of the year when needed. But they need to be compensated for being available to run, they can’t survive making money running a few days a year. New England ISO is projecting blackouts if something isn’t done. Gas pipelines are being blocked too.

That's a foolish waste of a valuable resouce, we could be making petrochemicals including gasoline from it.

Power production from NG is like washing dishes with Chivas Regal. You could do it, but.....
