I dont understand the jobs argument. Our economy is constantly changing, and technology is typically the thing that causes the change. Nobody cared when Netflix but movie stores out of business, but when it comes to coal and the fossil fuel industry, for some reason we have to go out of our way to protect those industries. We know we have cleaner and just as sufficient means for energy, so why can't we move in that direction?
And again, when you say come up with new plans, you have to elaborate. I gave you the example about Trump rolling back emission standards. To me, emission standards is a pretty practical thing that not only doesnt impact our lives, but actually makes it more convenient. Who wants to spend more on gas and take up more time going to the gas station? I think the answer to that is nobody, so what is the purpose of rolling back those standards, other than to benefit oil companies?
Nobody was going to roll back coal overnight. THat obviously isnt feasible or realistic. But, coal jobs are disappearing anyway due to automation, so I also dont understand why this is an industry that we must go out of our way to protect, especially when it is already a dying industry anyway, at least in regards to the rank and file coal workers. I would argue the jobs argument in many ways isnt about rank and file jobs, it is about protecting the interests of the people at the top who are typically the biggest political donors.
