Nothing wrong with energy. A lot wrong with the way we extract it and use it.
How would you like to wake up one morning to the sound of a huge explosion. When you rush out to see what happened you discover the beautiful Appalachian mountain behind your house is now a hill and the stream you love to fish in is filled in with debris and, even if it is restored, will never be the same. A few months later you have to haul in water because your well is contaminated. finally you end up selling out to the coal company for pennies on the dollar because they have destroyed the value of your property. It happens every day.
