“Some coal plants are considering only operating during periods of higher electricity demand, from December to February (winter) and from June to August (summer).”

Interesting.

Does that mean electrical charging stations would no longer function during the off-months because they are powered by coal-powered electrical generating plants.

Most natural gas plants will probably remain online for at least two decades. I suspect the majority will remain in operation in 2051. Some will probably be in use in 2100 despite Joe Biden’s hopes.

Some people will refuel their 2021 gasoline-powered pickups in 2061 at US gas stations, despite Joe Biden’s hopes.
