Indeed. The world will be better with it gone, but that doesn't mean everybody wins.

The coal mines had done so much bad for the place (and the earth), and yet they depended on them. Ironic.

Residential rooftop solar is always going to be more expensive than utility solar (power plants) unfortunately. Even if you made the panels free, the cost of adjusting them to your roof, hooking it up to the grid, and then paying your utility will always be high. Not to mention what you’d pay in your area could be very different than someone else.
