Is it fair to impose stricter environmental laws that could increase daily expenses?

I am only a high school senior. Not even alowed to vote yet. But, I still belive that the enviornment is the most important and difficult political topic there is. I belive that that sometimes, inaction is worse than the wrong action. At least is we try this, we can say we did something. And, if it doesn't turn out, we try something different. But these fissil fuel companies have a chokehold over the government and the government needs to fight back.
