The economic realities of the past few decades haven\u2019t favored coal power and this isn\u2019t going to change. The decline of coal-related jobs is partly due to the rise in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2016\/10\/161007105548.htm\">cheap natural gas<\/a>, combined with increased continuous automation, and the industry is forecasted to see an additional\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/about.bnef.com\/new-energy-outlook\/\">51% reduction<\/a>\u00a0in generation by 2040.

The rest are in fields such as natural resources conservation, corporate sustainability and environmental education.<\/p>\n<p>The future of clean jobs only looks more promising. Wind turbine technicians are the fastest-growing occupations in America, adding jobs over\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.awea.org\/amr2016\">nine times faster<\/a>\u00a0than the overall economy, just behind solar jobs, which are growing at a rate\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.irena.org\/DocumentDownloads\/Publications\/IRENA_RE_Jobs_Annual_Review_2017.pdf\">17 times faster<\/a>\u00a0than the rest of the economy.

That\u2019s an opportunity we can\u2019t afford to turn our backs on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moving the needle in the right direction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If Trump wants to fulfill his campaign promises of creating jobs, then he should redirect his attention from the dying coal industry to the booming clean energy sector. Why? Because it makes economic sense. That\u2019s why business leaders, investors and politicians are demanding that the Trump administration deliver a plan to address climate change with smart policies.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a way for Trump to make good on his campaign promises to bring back America&#8217;s jobs and lead us closer to becoming energy \u201cdominant\u201d.
