You're suggesting that this regulation will be effective in its stated goal and lead to unexpected outcomes. I'm suggesting it's pointless because the coal plants are already uneconomic, and this rule is only impacting things in 8 years. Developing nations might want to import cheap coal because richer nations no longer want to poison their children and want their fish to be edible during pregnancy and reason that they don't have that luxury yet. But when America, Australia etc. are all trying to sell them exported coal because they are running cheaper solar at home, they might see another option.
