I wasn't aware the GW movement had any real influence. It is just a convenient foil. In reality, coal is looking up:

Last year TXU played a clever gambit to get its plants approved:

.. and I'm sure others will do them same. (If you want to build a couple of plants, ask for ten, then compromise on only 2.) If your plant proposal is rejected (as in Kansas) then you simply need to be more "persuasive" in reaching out to the politicians, and in politics money talks. The GW issue is simply used as a foil to entice concessions and favors from those with the dough. Nobody in real power in the US really believes in it.
