Governments have unlimited power over companies in theory. Why stop at attacks? Why not just force them?
If you can't reach a certain emission goal, you lose your business license. That's simple.
There's a bunch of economics literature around carbon taxes and cap-and-trade. Either one is more cost-effective at achieving emissions reduction than the kind of approach you describe.
Why on earth do I care what a bunch of economists say? Money is made up bullshit.
Some of what they do represents effort, not just money. In this case, I'm pretty well convinced it's the case.
