The other issue here is that the first plants to get "turned off" when we use less electricity are the natural gas peakers. Since natural gas has less CO2 per kWh than coal the CO2 intensity of the mix can go up when we use less electricity even if we aren't using any more coal. Intensity is an interesting measure, but it doesn't tell the whole story.
