We can keep some of that coal-fired stuff around and use it periodically.
It's OK. Winter happens every year.
When the market needs that power, then the market will have to pay for it.

With coal, we should use what we have when needed, but absolutely should not invest a penny more in its development.
Instead, that money should go into geothermal which can provide clean baseload power and provide a path for the oil industry to pivot their work to. Everybody wins, except for the coal mine owners and their workers.
The workers should be trained to likewise pivot to geothermal and other renewables. The mine owners can get fucked.
