This is the case with ALL bills. Their framers can only guess at what obstacles and costs there might be beforehand. The point of getting something on paper is that possible stakeholders can see what you have in mind and provide feedback.

The difference here is that this one calls from more radical change and so provokes more public discussion. 

How one comes down on the issue of climate change is crucial to how one views the bill. If you think anthropogenic global warming is a croc, then the whole thing looks crazy.  If you buy forecasts of a "tipping point" in the near future, then you want legislators to get started on rolling back carbon emissions and the like. NOW. Crazy is doing nothing. This is a start.

I believe climate change is real. The whole thing was insane. 

As usual with AOC, the GND was fluff and emotion with no real substance. We aren't "doing nothing". Renewable energy subsidies are a thing (which could easily be higher while decreasing fossil fuel subsidies).
