I think this would be a great market for suborbital space transports.

We could put coal fired power plants on blimps and have them beam energy
down to the surface. Normal airplanes fly at one altitude, but they can be
designed to fly higher. Normal planes are designed to get somewhere. For
the purpose at hand, it is possible to sacrifice speed for fuel efficiency.
You would end up with coal powered airplanes circling over head, spewing
smoke, and beaming energy down to the ground.
