Coal mines and power plants face the same challenges. They manage, somehow.

They manage because politics pushes these things through while creating new regulations for renewables.

E.g. in Germany one of the chancellor candidates was state MP and personally & illegally forced expansion of coal strip mining while enacting new rules making wind power essentially impossible in his state.

They manage mostly by being older than these regulations.
