Coal was made unprofitable by fiat and the plants were demolished (supply decreased).

Then, datacenters (demand increased, to put it mildly).

The explanation that one chooses for this is a function of one's other politics but the fact is, one has become a political rallying cry (opposition to demand increase) and the other (blame for supply decrease) has not, and this is the discussion we find ourselves in.
