One can hope.

A setback for fracking would be the best thing that could possibly happen to coal.

Coal is dead man walking because wind and solar beat them both on price. Coal went bankrupt and will go bankrupt again.

Fracked natural gas killed coal years before solar and wind could get there. Solar and wind may yet kill gas, which would be nice.

Fracking though was heavily subsidized by Wall Street using other peoples money. It never was, nor will be profitable and it's a dead end technology.
