Live by the sword, die by the sword. These companies have been playing politics and lobbying all along themselves. And they only got the permit to begin with because of political winds shifting. This is the risk they take (like drilling in the arctic) when you make big bets on things that are extremely politically controversial and arguably not in the public interest (certainly not in the interest of the people whose lives are being turned upside down by eminent domain to make this possible). So in that sense your solar installation example isn't appropriate because generally solar installations aren't that controversial, aren't built on the broken backs of people who lived there, aren't against the public interest, and don't require millions in lobbying $$ to manipulate politicians to get it done to begin with.
