Most is completed just 4 months after Trump approved construction?Keystone XL pipeline would only create 35 permanent jobs
And Obama's Green and Renewable fiasco:
US solar power employs more people than oil, coal and gas combined
and,
U.S. Clean Energy Jobs Surpass Fossil Fuel Employment
Solar energy in the US employs more people than traditional coal, gas and oil combined, a report has found, in a revelation that could undermine Donald Trump’s argument that green energy isn’t good for the economy.
The latest report from the US Department of Energy (DOE) reveals solar energy accounts for the largest proportion of employers in the Electric Power Generation sector, with wind energy the third largest, while the coal industries have declined in the past 10 years.
Solar energy employed 374,000 people over the year 2015-2016, making up 43 per cent of the sector’s workforce, while the traditional fossil fuels combined employed 187,117, making up just 22 per cent of the workforce, according to the report.
What's wrong with construction jobs?
Also even if the pipeline itself doesn't add a lot of jobs, it's still jobs.
Most of that pipeline is already completed. Can you name one report where those jobs had any noticeable effect on employment? What makes you think the last part will? We could add a few jobs by tearing down all our bridges, but that probably isn't a good enough reason to do it.
Is there anything Trump can't do?
