Trump had a few executive orders that derailed phase out plans and the DoE released a coal plant refurbishing subsidy[1].

So, in both cases it's helping sustain. "Ramping up" means increasing.

Is there something I'm missing here?

I consider minimizing a natural decline with artificial subsidies as ramping up - maybe a fairer phrase would be "dragging out production" but either way the administration is putting a thumb on their scale to counter natural market forces to perpetuate a dumb thing.
