This one is a mixed bag.

I am totally for regulating the coal industry out of business as their CO2 emissions are the main cause of climate change. But...

Environmentalists have been trying to bypass democratic institutions and the rule of law by using administrative law and NGOs to enforce environmental policies of the IPCC and others. This turns vague environmental goals into technocratic administrative law and policies. There is no public input or feedback allowed. One example of this is building codes. There is no public input on building codes, as they are written by NGOs then administratively applied as law. Now we have a housing shortage almost everywhere because these laws are onerous.

If we by pass democratic institutions and the rule of law for climate change, government will do it for everything. Administrative law is become a huge problem for 'democracy'.

In the energy sector this is a real problem. Administratively we are not allowing new power plants to be built (nuclear for example) yet our energy needs keep increasing. Our power plants are old and need to be rebuilt, but we are holding out for wind and solar instead of building more efficient power plants today.

Germany is an example of why this is not a good idea. They are talking about reopening coal fire plants because they are dependent on Russian oil.
