Coal is also expensive, contrary to what the administration says.
If we use data from @energyinnovation.org's Coal Crossover 3.0 report, we can estimate that replacing the generation from these plants with renewables would save $663.9M annually.

The Coal Cost Crossover 3.0 • Energy Innovation
99% of the U.S. coal fleet is now more expensive than replacement by local clean energy, which could generate $589 billion in new investment.
