Point out the economic bind they’re in. Let them know you’re not going to subsidize them. Offer them a fire sale price.
A government willing to pay anything at all for a stranded economic asset is still an amazing deal. If they’re set to lose millions and you offer them a dollar, you just saved them millions, so the buy out should be cheap if managed by a government that isn’t beholden to billionaires.

Let them go bankrupt then they’re cheap.

Let them pay for cleaning up their own mess and build something renewable.
I think the idea that these power plants have a positive economic value 5-10 years from now is rather uncertain.
