What is the lifespan of a coal power plant?

With windmills and panels, they will just get paid off within a few yrs of their life expectancy.

Apparently in Germany, the life of a new coal power plant is now just 5 years:
Big Wind and crony politicians are pushing to clear 2000 hectares of 1000-year old forests to make way for 60 giant 5-MW wind turbines. Now imagine this being done 25 times because one ultra-modern coal plant will be decommissioned after being in service just 5 years.
Makes perfect sense to Chuck.

Claims of 25 year lifespans seem to be highly over rated as well:
