In Energy, Some Jobs Will Be Sacrificed

A reader sent me the story at left, so as to suggest that Biden’s plans to safeguard the environment will be overall job-killers, which is 100% false.

Obviously, coal miners won’t be mining coal; that’s pretty clear. The transition to a clean energy economy will bring a huge net gain of jobs, but, yes, jobs in the dinosaur economy are going away.

This should not scare anyone.  There were people who made buggy whips and slide rules, but I would bet that most of them found gainful employment elsewhere.
