I don't think that's how it works. Coal is fungible, and is not in short supply. Putting out the fire would not increase the amount of coal being used industrially, nor would it decrease the cost of coal. It would just eliminate one of many sources of CO2. So a net win in global warming terms.
- function_seven 8y agoParent comment is saying as much. $60mm to put out this fire is worth it in order to eliminate a CO2 source.
