With respect to government will make more permits - historically the government has reduced the number available (and does 3% each year by design) when they weren't used due to NG/coal switching (see 2014). If this goes completely nuts, then yes, the government would likely make more but the permits are still funding renewable energy so having it go nuts also spells doom for coal powerplants. It's like having coal powerplants match your investment in utility scale renewable energy:
