I wonder how/if the states of these workers will reemploy them
Oh, no!!! Anyway…
How can you be so cold? They’ve barely had decades to prepare for this eventuality.
They are so cold because there is no coal to keep them warm… much sadness indeed.
Remember one of Trump’s first moves was to subsidize coal mines in west Virginia? Instead of paying for miners to retrain for a new skill with that money he kept an industry everyone knew was dying running. And everyone says “he’s a business man” no “business man” would keep an unprofitable industry in business.
Pretty sure Trump’s companies aren’t profitable either. So kinda makes sense.
The same businessman who is such an utter business failure that he has resorted to declaring bankruptcy SIX times. Checks out.
lol that fellas a clown
World faces ALL job losses if no global energy transition (not to mention lives)
I’m surprised 1 million people still work in coal. Edit: 1 million globally. Makes more sense
Good. That’s what you get for trying to go backwards in time
Friendly reminder that nearly all currently operating coal plants have been built scine the sixties, as before that it was often unprofitable to use for electricity production.
That’s right, we could have gone straight to nuclear and created the economies of scale necessary to bring down costs if we haven’t needed to find jobs for all the miners and poor lobbyists who had mined coal for home heating and industrial use.
We’ve also settled the science about the whole carbon killing us thing since the seventies, so there should have been plenty of time in the last fifty years to get rid of them.
der tekin 'er jerbss!
It’s almost like there could have been another industry similar to this that existing workers could have gotten training for. ☀️
Good! That frees those workers up to do something else useful for society!
*worldwide.
There are nearly four times as many fast food employees in the US alone.
