Their own particular reasons are that utilities don't like chaos. Utilities plan on 30+ year time scales. They've planned to close these plants (which are uneconomical) for years and know when Trump leaves, this order also ends. So instead of an orderly planned closure of the plants, they get chaos. They also don't just buy coal at the market, they have long term contracts which now need to come back.
