Depends on the demand for power and if you have to scrub the CO2 from the emissions.
If you don't have to guard the environment burning coal is still viable. It's only when you factor environmental degradation that it becomes cost prohibited. If you don't give a fuck about the emissions or the mining dangers you can definitely make money off it.
For oil, ExxonMobil was spending 99 cents to get a dollar out of the ground from tar sands and it was still profitable based on ultra high volume.
Pretty sure most Californians would prefer we burn the coal we have instead of rolling blackouts during the summer.
