Yeah, we've heard these:

* "More efficient, next gen coal plants"

* "Receiving capacity payments subsidies to stabilize grid"

* "We won't run these plants at full capacity"

When their carbon intensity still can't touch natural gas alternatives at scale, state owned enterprises are operating in a command economy, and they have no teeth to their carbon commitments.

They don't have to build new coal at 10:1 versus retirements to "replace aging coal" or stabilize the grid.

Coal is just too cheap and adds diversity,while nobody forces CN to enter climate agreements and looks the other way.
