Yes, the windmills and solar farms just pay decent wages. But the jobs will be there for decades. Of course you have to have some technical skills to work in those fields. An advantage, actually, because those skills can be transfered to something else if for some reason the job ends.
we moved to oklahoma in the mid 80s and the boom was over. it was a ghost town there and the oilfield jobs at western paid "ok" but it was still long hours, driving when you were over your limit on hours you're allowed to drive, and yea, you risk a lot banging pipes and fracking ground.I grew up on the Oklahoma/Texas border and had friends work in the oil patch, as they call it. Yes, the pay is big bucks. But the work is hot, dirty, long hours, and very dangerous. Worker's getting maimed or killed isn't uncommon.
It's always a boom followed by a bust. The smart people try to save all the money they can, because when the black gold rush is shut down due to the market economics. People a who thought the boom would last for years and rushed out and bought a new car and house, are suddenly jobless and facing bankruptcy. ....
You can make six figures driving a truck in Iraq for a company. Its all tax free.Im so old I remember when the worlds smartest President told us we couldn’t drill our way out of energy problems and that high paying blue collar jobs weren’t coming back.

Unfortunately, many of the workers are young people making more money than they ever dreamed possible. And blowing it on stupid stuff as fast as they make it. ....Hope they’re saving their money and not pissing it away on a lot of useless crap.
100000/(14*6*50) = $23
$23 an hour to work in exhausting heat and huge hours...
He deserves it but not huge money... He has no life while on that money...

if he invests it while he's working, he leaves somewhat wealthy and go get a lower paying job to live on the rest of his life with his richest moments collecting interest and multiplying. ah, to be 22 again.100000/(14*6*50) = $23

Um, you notice the term they used is "upstream" oil and gas....
So they only take a part of the oil industry and compare it to the entire solar industry....
Why do you guys feel the need to use fudged numbers to make a point?
Coal is dead. And Trump has known this for a long time. He is playing the rubes like fiddles.
