Someone explain this to me

It's a random number. The number of people working in the oil, natural gas, hydroelectric, wind power, and solar power industries is unknown. Do you count the gas station owners? Do you count the government bureaucrats? Do you count the drillers? Do you count the power company employees that work on the lines? Do you count the farmers and ranchers making use of irrigation waters these dams also provide? How about the extensive crew required to construct a hydroelectric project? How about their suppliers? How about the folks that build the homes for these workers?
Just how does one define as 'working in the renewable energy' industry'?
Agreed. Biden has openly stated he wants to raise taxes.
You really need to move into this century.
Even without subsidies solar and wind power have cheaper LCOE (Longterm cost of energy) than any power plant including combined cycle gas plants.
In 2020, the cost for Solar and wind is less than for any power plant being built.

By 2025, the cost of solar and wind is still projected to be less than gas fueled combined cycle power plants.
No, the go and get another job. Apparently something you can't do, since you are unfamiliar with this process.
So are the workers, Jack. So are the workers.
Inversion fallacy.Earl: "Go with taxing half the households in America. Great plan. Jacky."
Jack: Did you ever attempt to recoup your parents money? (their payment for your education was a dismal failure, give them my condolences)
You never learned with wealth is. You never learned what money is. You never learned what the stock market is. You never learned what the bond market is. You never learned about the effect of price controls. You never received an education of any kind in these matters.
Nope. No difference between a basket of stocks or a single stock, other than that you are spreading your investment over many companies instead of just the one.
Nothing in the stock market is a free lunch. Each company is a bunch of people that are working and producing wealth (unlike you).
You really need to get into this decade.
I could drive a Tesla 2000 miles cross country. It might require me taking a half hour break every 300 miles while the car charges but I would take those breaks even with a gasoline powered car.

Lie. Throwing insults is not a rebuttal.
Lie. He actions resulted in the strongest economy in the history of the United States. He is doing it again, too, despite the Covid19 fear mongering brought about by people like you.
He's referring to Biden, dumbass. Pay attention.
Horses are not oil products. Perhaps you haven't noticed. The economy HAS expanded because of oil products. We are now an exporter of oil products.
We are not shackled to anything. We use oil products because they are so useful and cheap.
Oil replaced horses, and the economy improved. Replacing oil could reasonably be predicted to greatly improve the economy. Your demand we hold on to old technologies will not improve the economy.

So you figure we aren't in a recession. Guess Trump was successful, despite Covid19. Way to go Trump!
So you figure we don't need to pull out of a recession. Guess Trump was successful!
Yay! jacksonsprat22 has declared we are no longer in a recession! He has declared that we do not need to recover from one! Thank you for supporting Trump!
Germany is a mess? In what way? I see they have similar GDP growth to the US for the last decade. They have reduced energy consumption during that same period and moved to more renewables.
You need to be more specific as to how they are a mess because it isn't in their economic data.
The Church of Green isn't a job. It's a religion. There is no fossil fuel industry. Fossils don't burn.
It's actually increasing right now.
There are no fossil fuel companies. There is nothing to be killed. Fossils don't burn.
Darth Omar probably appreciates you giving him god like powers, but he is not a god. He didn't create the Covid19 virus. He didn't create the Church of Green. He didn't create the oil industry. He can't burn fossils for fuel. Fossils don't burn.
Nah. A flurry of lawsuits will do.
No. We have low energy costs because we can produce it cheaply. Coal is cheap. Oil is cheap. Natural gas is cheap. Nuclear energy is cheap enough, though more expensive then the previous three. Hydroelectric is cheap. It also provides irrigation water and tames rivers from causing seasonal destruction.
Demand is currently going up.
Far from dead, and demand is going up.
Again, you give Darth Omar god like abilities. I hope you appreciate this, Darth. LV246 seems to be trying to worship you.
Again, you give Darth god-like capabilities.
Random numbers. Stop making shit up.
How did PostmodernProphet have the ability to kill 40 million jobs??
