Strange little thinkpiece. The classic "No Country for Coal Gen" report in 2017 suggested that most coal generation in the states at that time was being propped up despite being uneconomic due to warped incentives and that the US would save billions just in energy costs by closing them (health and carbon benefits were on top of that energy cost saving and were further billions).
Ironically I have more faith in Communist China actually following the economic incentives in phasing out coal, despite sporadic reports of regional governments alledgedly following their local preogatives to build coal.
