If that's it, the only job he can get is in a coal mine, whaddya want from me? Should we keep the coal mines open so this guy can continue working there?
Well if you put it that way, then, umm, yes. The greater good is obviously more important than the livelihoods of a few hundred thousand people (though I don't know where you got that number).
Of course you are also assuming that the people doing those jobs right now won't be required to do something else. I don't know where you are getting that either.

This response didn't say anything except more of the same from your last response. I already get your stance and hard line opinion. What I'm saying is that your stance and opinion won't fly, so they need to have those jobs in place for these people
before they kill their industry.
Because as much as you want to stomp your feet and say "they should have known, good of the many", even though technically it's correct,
no government body or politician is going to implement changes like this to just cut off tons of people from employment.
These solutions have to be found or this is going to spin it's wheels forever. Whether it's right or wrong, that's the way it is.
Governments need to grab their balls and start doing programs to address the labour transition now.
