If you keep calling low paying jobs low productivity jobs I'm going to start calling you dummy all of the time.Increased productivity is a good thing.
Replacing high productivity fossil fuel jobs with low productivity "green" jobs is a bad thing.

I worked in the high paying oil and gas industry for 37 years. I saw lots of people who were low productivity employees getting paid well.
Conflating low productivity with low pay is like conflating air pressure with radiation.
There are all kinds of different jobs in any industry. It's a distribution. I couldn't tell you what the admin got paid because I don't know, and I never cared. Some admins were horrible (low productivity) and some admins were awesome (high productivity) but they probably all got paid similar low pay in YOUR so-called (stupidly I might add) high productivity industry.I worked in the high paying oil and gas industry for 37 years.
Did the average worker get paid more than a barista? More than a taxi driver?
You're free to post all the low productivity jobs that don't overlap with low pay.
Jobs, not individuals.
That's your straw man. You couldn't accept the fact that the lower albedo was not enough to offset the conversion of solar radiation into electricity. It's ironic that you seem to understand "net" when it suits your purpose (you made that argument in another thread) but are obtuse to "net" when it doesn't. Your hypocrisy and dishonesty are off the chart.Or conflating lower albedo with cooling.
The key word is "net".
Productivity refers to output not pay
You couldn't accept the fact that the lower albedo was not enough to offset the conversion of solar radiation into electricity.
Great idea!Feel free to install solar panels on your roof.
Did you mean to misspell high profitability? Because that is historically what the oil and gas industry has been, but even so there are oil and gas companies that failed. It's a distribution. You can have a company that produces a lot of oil and gas (highly productive) and they won't necessarily be profitable. It all depends upon how efficient they are and whether or not they made good business decisions. And they have different types of jobs at different levels of pay. And the compensation would have been commensurate with what the market would bear; not with how profitable or unprofitable the company was.Yes. Jobs that have high productivity, oil and gas extraction, for example, pay more
than the Lesbian Poetry PhD. making your latte is going to get paid. Because she's not as productive.
It's conservation of energy. Any solar radiation converted into electricity is solar radiation that does not warm the surface of the planet. The reduction in solar radiation is not offset by the lower albedo of the solar panel. Therefore, large solar farms induce a regional cooling.Right. Because electricity generation lowers the temperature at the panel but electricity usage doesn't raise the temperature.
It's magic!!!
DURR
That has a zero probability of happening.Great idea!
But if I do, will you promise to come shovel them off every morning before sunrise?
How many times do I need to explain to you that electricity usage is the same in all cases. Whether it is generated from something that captures solar radiation or from something that doesn't capture solar radiation. So relative to the case that does not capture solar radiation, the case that does capture solar radiation will have a net cooling effect. Why is that so difficult for you to grasp?electricity usage doesn't raise the temperature.
Your lack of dedication to your cause is a delight to be hold!That has a zero probability of happening.
Never let it be said I didn't do the least I could do.Your lack of dedication to your cause is a delight to be hold!

But DURR was probably the best you could come up with.

Imagine, if you would...to quote Mr SerlingThe US could save $5.6B a year if it switched from coal to solar – study

Solar makes more financial sense than coal
The authors of the peer-reviewed study from the University of Surrey in the UK point out that even if no other argument, such as fighting climate change, is accepted for the switch from fossil fuels to renewables, then economics should be reason enough to embrace clean energy....
Ravi Silva, director of the Advanced Technology Institute at the University of Surrey and co-author of the study, said:
Electrek’s Take
Of course, solar needs to be balanced with other sources of clean energy, such as wind and hydro, and battery storage is an essential part of the mix to regulate supply and demand. But what’s overwhelmingly clear is that coal – and indeed, fossil fuels in general – are not only bad for the environment, they’re also a terrible financial choice. That’s the main thrust of this study..

Electricity sourced from solar is cheaper than sourcing it from coal-fired power plants on a global scale, according to a new study.electrek.co
Have you ever actually been in a solar farm?It's conservation of energy. Any solar radiation converted into electricity is solar radiation that does not warm the surface of the planet. The reduction in solar radiation is not offset by the lower albedo of the solar panel. Therefore, large solar farms induce a regional cooling.

It doesn't reduce heating; it relocates it.How many times do I need to explain to you that electricity usage is the same in all cases. Whether it is generated from something that captures solar radiation or from something that doesn't capture solar radiation. So relative to the case that does not capture solar radiation, the case that does capture solar radiation will have a net cooling effect. Why is that so difficult for you to grasp?
