Agreed, another often overlooked part of renewable energy is the renewable part. Where coal requires people to get up and go to work every morning to dig up more because the power plants burn through it, renewables do not. Once a solar field has been established it does not need the majority of the workers any more, it has a functional life measured in decades.

While in the beginning many jobs will be available, once the fields are established go away. Then those same people who retrained to be solar panel installers are either too old or to emotionally devastated to soldier on to another replacable skill set.
