This might further a few small plants for a few extra years, but the spike in coal usage (as countries try to move away from nuclear and oil) is going to consume quantities quicker. So, like shale oil, you're going to run out of the cheap stuff faster.
I don't have any problem using coal, but at the current growth rate, it's only got 15-25 years (or less) before it's no longer a cheap alternative. Then what?
Then they will be forced to inevitably accept it. That's the problem, you don't stop progress you only delay it.
