Part of this effect is from competition with low cost Natural Gas.

Call fired or even large power plants are becoming more and more obsolete as distributed power takes over the business

Right now in California more than 50% of the peak load of 60,000 MW is Photovoltaic on any given summer day in the sun

Furthermore small natural gas fired power plants of 40 to 60 MW are incredibly cheap and small and easy to Tie in
to the different distribution points For a utility

Wonder what a happens when the supply of Nat Gas runs low. I heard that we have a 40 year supply at current consumption rates.

There will always be coal. I don’t hold much hope for nuclear since it has a worse rep than coal.

Yes, very true.

Also most electric utilities are regulated at the state level, and many states are still run by libtards who are making life for them increasingly miserable with fines and regulation. Those utilities, realizing that Trump won't be there forever and getting sick of playing this game, are transitioning regardless.
