      Ah, the old “I’m sucking your money tit as long as I can while my industry dies and I refuse to innovate with my profits” tax.

              Well, in the short-term, yeah. But for the mid- to long-term, it’s quite a traditional investment. Pay some money now to build renewables and decommission coal power plants, but eventually break even, because the running cost per kWh produced is quite a bit lower.
