Because people in coal areas suffer more illnesses it costs employees and employers money from lost work/productivity.

Basically we can't produce enough energy to meet peak demand and parts of the grid overload and shut down. Since my city has strongly encouraged solar over the last few years we have been spared the rolling blackouts. During peak demand my home and the over 200 other homes with solar panels are creating more energy than we use, so we are helping reduce overall demand for the neighborhood. I'm not sure how it would work if we had a failure in service, I would be producing my own energy. I'm not sure if my neighbors would be able to draw from my excess or not.
