You're right, they should keep burning coal. Clean, beautiful coal, works no matter how hot it gets!
As if there's not already entire countries with mostly renewable.
Nope, there's not. Countries like Denmark which pretty much only produces wind power is completely reliant on importing energy from countries with a diverse energy mix, without which they would have blackouts every week.
They also need cooling for exactly the same reason and pretty much the same amount for the same power generation.
