      Solar panels, trains, wind turbines, bicycles and so forth all have to be made and they usually turn a profit. There are also a lot of positive site benefits of a lot of climate solutions.

      This is not to say fossil fuels do not employee a lot of people and fixing climate change is going to hurt people, but it is not as simple as having no benefits.

          That is why renewables replacing fossil fuels is so important. As soon as an industry looses its profit margin, it starts to loose political power as well.
