Crypto mine comes to Indiana and major polluting coal plant stays open

Probably is allowing the plant to be used for peaking -- when grid demand surges, the bitcoin mining can be quickly stop and the power sent to the grid. It's kind of a win-win for the power plant operator -- they get a decent guaranteed price for electricity sales 24-7 and when demand peaks they can sell their power to the grid at peak price. Maybe not so good for the neighbors breathing in the pollution or the climate though.
