It could also be that they don't have enough renewables built yet to have enough fully renewable backup in place yet. These things take time. Coal is fast and easy to build, so while you build out the slower and more difficult renewables, it makes sense to fill in the gaps in the short term with something cheap and easy.

Anyway it's clear where you stand on reality when you're in here arguing against renewables, apparently?
