It’s hard to compete exonomically with a business that is allowed to dispose of their waste (Greenhouse gasses) for free.

The waste isn't just greenhouse gasses.

Its literally anything you can dig up from the Earth so it also includes radioactive elements. I really think that would've been the better angle to attack coal power plants with.

I agree, but that’s a rhetorically more dangerous path. If you start emphasizing the dangers of radiation, the fossil fuel industry will double down on scare mongering about nuclear energy.
