I take a solar panel on my balcony.

Yes that's the one counter example. But you don't want a coal power plant on your balcony. Or a highway or railway or power line or aircraft runway...

I don’t want a coal power plant at all. Neither a highway nor aircraft runway.

I’ve lived right up against a railway before. Really not that bad, plus you’re more likely to be near a station which is excellent. Agree on the highway/runway examples, though. Turns out the problem is usually burning shit nearby. (And rubber tyres)
