I believe a more likely outcome for now to be "all of the above", especially outside the US.

Including halting closeout of coal-power plants (and building new ones where that is allowed).

I wouldn't be terribly surprised if some tried to push to restart/rebuild on the sites of shuttered plants (including one near me, although it really wouldn't be practical for that one to be revived).
