You never ban fossil fuels you transition to a low carbon infrastructure. Banning leads to cliff edge scenarios.
Banning coal isn't easy when it leads to widespread freezing Shortage of 20%, prices up 100%, industries at stand-still, public backlash "All this was a perfectly foreseeable outcome"https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-12-11/why-china-s-freezing …

“China should be thinking about market-based reforms such as carbon taxes, working to improve infrastructure for alternative energies”
