U.S. solar industry passes oil, coal and gas for job creation Maybe the US President wants to have a look at this before trying to bring back coal jobs and harm the bigger majority of energy workers. With the current "climate" he may want to rather boost renewables jobs! From the article: Solar employment now accounts for the largest share of workers in the U.S. power generation field, surpassing coal, gas and oil, according to a new report from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). In 2016, the solar workforce increased by 25% over the previous year to 374,000 employees, compared to 187,117 electrical generation jobs in the coal, gas and oil industries combined, according to the DOE's "Energy and Employment Report for 2017 (http://ift.tt/2jgo5UX)".
