And no, it’s not because Obama killed the coal industry. It’s demand for clean energy, which is getting cheaper to produce. The rest is theatre by political hacks who refuse to accept the fact that the U.S. energy sector is undergoing a rapid transformation that is displacing dirty sources of energy for cleaner ones. Take a look at this report on the fastest growing jobs in America. Clean energy jobs are growing at a fast rate.
Solar panel installer is the fastest-growing job in California, Hawaii, New Mexico, Florida, North Carolina, Missouri, Minnesota, and New Jersey. While wind turbine technician is the fastest growing job in Colorado, Texas, Nebraska, and Iowa. Texas is oil country! But the Lone Star State actually produces the most wind power of any U.S. state.
