Polish coal miners have begun training in operating and servicing wind turbines as part of a programme to support workers leaving the mining sector.
We should be doing that in the states. Then the fucking My JoB fucks would have no more excuses.
Sadly that sweet sweet coal and oil lobby money is too good to pass up.
We are. Unfortunately lobbying is getting in the way but slowly it’s catching on
Could have had the same thing in Germany. But our politicians have huge coal boners.
Amazing, I’ve been saying this for years, start retraining, trade programs for those guys and they wont demolish the parliment when you start closing down the ridiculous mines. We import coal from China for crying out loud, nobody can afford our coal, and it’s not even sold at a profit. I’d say about time, but 10-15 years too late is also appropriate.
Literally what the US democrats were offering in 2016 but we’re ridiculed and massive swing to trump
I seem to remember a famous politician here in the US suggesting the same thing about 8 years ago.
