A couple of reasons can be cited. First they have run out of coal. Second that they cost more to operate than they produce, or because they have become unsafe to work. Lastly as we move onto ever greener fuel source coal is being used less and less.

No, coal mining has not stopped. If it had, you probably would not be using your computer right now. About 45% of the electricity in the US comes from coal fired powerplants. With no coal, it would get dark pretty quickly.
