INdeed and there is little danger of coal workers being unemployed as you should just retrain them to work in new greener industries.

surely there are transferable skills

@zleap we can pay coal workers a full salary and let them go on holiday until they reach pension age. It would be a cheap and easy solution to get rid of that occupation.

Most would be bored and voluntarily find another job after a while.

Or we can give them jobs to do pyrolysis of biomass. It's working with coal to remove CO2 from the air. They can become the good coal workers.

@JohanEmpa Indeed that counters what seems to be the argument from Unions about unemployment
