Hundreds of thousands of jobs were not lost when we embraced the loom over the spinning wheel. Hundreds of thousands of jobs were not lost when computers replaced the paper ledger. Hundreds of thousands of jobs will not be lost when we replace fossil fuels with green energy: wind/tidal/solar/geothermal/hydrothermal equipment manufacturing, green energy consulting, testing, science and development, 3rd world support, nuclear construction, offshore maintenance, hundreds of millions of EV cars/trucks/trains/planes/busses/bikes. If we as a species, as a collection of governments, fully embraced just the Paris climate agreements, there'd be more jobs available than people to fill them.I'm all for solar but I'm not willing to let hundreds of thousands of jobs be lost over it.
Fossil fuels are dead. And the quicker, as a species, we realise that the better off we will all be.
