Some people might want to move away from coal, some might at least insist on newer, cleaner (such as is possible) stations, and some might come up with a plan that accidentally supports a major campaign contributor and claim old and dirty coal stations are important and anyone who doesn't like old and dirty coal stations hates America.
Without the subsidy it's likely left to market forces the old dirty power stations would be forced to close, who knows if the'd be adequately decommissioned, but luckily for the planet Trump has cited terrorism as a reason to overcharge consumers to keep open the less efficient more polluting power stations run by Bob Murray who in entirely unconnected fashion was a big contributor to Trump's election campaign.
I don't know if they are getting played.

Oh, that's the guys facing allegations of sexual assaults of minors (and several adults)In response to a question from one of the only African Americans in the audience — who asked when Moore thought America was last “great” -- Moore acknowledged the nation’s history of racial divisions, but said: “I think it was great at the time when families were united — even though we had slavery — they cared for one another…. Our families were strong, our country had a direction.”
At the same event, Moore referred to Native Americans and Asian Americans as “reds and yellows,” and earlier this year he suggested the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks were divine punishment.
