1. Define the "day it is announced" to value the coal companies.

2. If I actually believed this was an issue to be concerned about I would pursue a solution that might - might actually work, not one that simply makes the greenies feel good by beating up the energy companies. Something that might work to me is defining and implementing a way to radiate more heat to deep space. Now, to pay for that I would put a tax on say Tesla's to make sure those who are driving the hysteria pay for the cost of the hysteria.

IMO is simply delusional to think that the issue - if there is one - can be solved by beating up world energy consumers. Any policy to address the issue should be one that might actually work.

. We pay for this, pay off the shareholders,
Where do you get the power plants to provide all of the electricity generated from coal today? How long will that take and what will it cost? How many greenies will protest the construction of a clean gas power plant in their city?

I don't like the idea that the tax on us is continued in order to help other nations shut down their coal. How about letting them tax themselves?
