    It’s almost like there could have been another industry similar to this that existing workers could have gotten training for. ☀️

      Nope… competing industries had to get killed to keep coal alive because that’s what lobbyists would reward politicians for with lucrative jobs after their political career. For this reason the former German government for example killed an once world-leading solar industry via massive overregulation… 100k jobs gone to keep 10k coal miners in their job.
