I moved out of the State of California to a jurisdiction without insane environmental laws, and now pay 0.08c/kwh, which more or less makes solar irrelevant. I bought a really nice, big house that was extremely affordable and enjoy a great quality of life. I use the extra money I make that isn't spent on electric bills and taxes to enrich the local economy, which helps lift people out of poverty and promotes innovation.

You could use some of that money and buy RECs to offset your emissions, which would not just enrich your local economy but do so in a way that encourages low-externality-energy production.
