Yep, literally the core premise of a carbon tax is to have Coal pay back the damage that it is doing to the environment at such a rate that it prevents them from doing further damage.
The problem not so much pricing coal out of the market, it's pretty much universally agreed we would like to do that. But collective action, where you need to ensure you are not diminishing your economic potential as compared to other economies that aren't pricing things this way.
