You keep equating killing an industry with killing people - this is a false comparison.

Ending the use of coal saves human lives and does not take any human lives. The batman comparison is irrelevant.

No longer using asbestos saved lives and didn't take lives. Removing lead from consumer products saves lives and didn't take lives.

I'm sure you there were people in the asbestos industry who weren't happy about the change and they would have gladly gone on giving people cancer. Just like people in the coal industry still bemoan the fact they can't keep killing as many people.
