The US is employing more people in the renewables sector than they EVER did in the coal industry. And many of those workers came directly from the coal industry.

No hysteria. And it isn’t just coal. Even if it was, they are still real people.
Look no further than Alberta for an idea, jobs in the oil industry were lost or people changed career paths. Oil and gas is never going away 100%, but it is going to continue to scale down just as coal and steel has. Automation aside.
It’s necessary, but I want to see solid re-education/work training programs offered along side any major industry shift.
