A few flies in the Green Energy ointment.
The Biden / Harris / AOC rushed and forced transition to the Socialist Green New Deal will increasingly encounter hiccups, such as safety issues by untrained, temporary workers, and fly-by-night companies looking to cash in on get-rich-quick green schemes.
FROM THE THREAD
Another article, this one from Forbes, effectively calling out the BS on the Socialist Green New Deal's phony claims about creating new jobs in a Green Energy economy, to replace lost, high-paying, jobs in the oil & gas industry:
These wind and solar facilities, though, so far have generated a very small number of ongoing jobs.
The total number of operational jobs in all of the renewable sub-sectors combined in Kern (wind, solar, electric power, hydroelectric) stood at only 543 jobs in 2020.
This amounted to less than 4% of the direct employment in Kern’s oil and gas operations.
Further, despite the strong renewable presence, employment in renewables is projected to grow in Kern by only 16 jobs in the next year.
Enjoyed that?
