15. Coal, Natural Gas, and Oil

We can certainly try tax incentives to drive behavior, but there's no guarantee that a solar panel plant or a wind turbine plant opens up in Kentucky, West Virginia, Western PA, and Ohio. We need to be prepared to pay the kind of wages that well workers and miners make doing work like mine site restoration. We need to be prepared to offer generous retirements to workers that have spent their work-life not just in the mines or oil/gas fields, but in the machine shops, fab shops, and mechanical shops supporting those businesses.

It's easy to say we want energy policy change, but we need to think hard about who is hurt by those changes and how we can make them whole.
