Rowe explained that a need for skilled labor will reach levels "like we’ve never seen before" after the pandemic, clarifying that although the government’s is having issues with fossil fuels, "the country isn’t". He also spoke to the plastic and petroleum products in high demand that are typically overlooked, including the parts used to create computers and other electronics.
"Energy can't be the enemy," he said. "It doesn't make a ton of sense to tell them to go out and make solar panels."
Rowe created his own foundation known as WORKS, whose mission statement sets out to close the "skill gap" in the United States and prepare people for an estimated seven million jobs that do not require a college degree. The foundation website states that "we keep lending money we don’t have to people who can’t pay it back for jobs that don’t exist" and that our culture reaffirms the "misguided belief" that skilled trade jobs aren’t desirable.
Kerry was criticized last week after insinuating that oil workers need to learn how to build solar panels to find work. He also claimed that coal workers have been fed a "false narrative" in thinking that climate policies are killing their jobs.
