Mark F Posted October 27, 2019 Report Posted October 27, 2019 The green economy - broadly defined as an economy that is low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive - is a major source of jobs in the US, employing an estimated 9.5 million people. The study, published in Palgrave Communications, finds that the size of the green economy and employment in the US grew by 20% between 2013 and 2016. This represents an additional 1.5 million jobs in the green economy; while over the same period, according to Department of Energy data, the coal industry saw a decline of 37,000 jobs. Lead author, Dr Lucien Georgeson (UCL Geography) said: “Our analysis suggests that the case for driving economic growth and job creation through fossil fuels is weakening, based on the available data.” https://sciencebusiness.net/network-updates/according-ucl-study-us-green-economy-worth-13-trillion-year Wanna-B-Fanboy, Wideleft, Fatty Liver and 1 other 2 2

Coal has been declining for a long time. the study is not about fossil fuel industries. anyway Quote A new report says direct employment in Canada's oil and gas sector is expected to fall by more than 12,000 jobs this year. PetroLMI says the workforce is forecast to drop to about 173,300 in 2019, a decline of 23 per cent from 226,500 in 2014. It says the oil and gas labour market shrank quickly in 2015 and 2016 following a commodity price collapse and remained relatively flat through 2017 and 2018. Quote . The total employment of the oil, gas, and petrochemical industry in the U.S. in 2015 was some 1.39 million people, when all related broad occupations are taken into account. The largest U.S.-based oil and gas company, ExxonMobil, had approximately 73.5 thousand employees worldwide as of 2015. Edited October 28, 2019 by Mark F
Mark F Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Japanese carmaker Honda has brought forward a goal to only sell electric and hybrid cars in Europe by three years to 2022, a leading company executive said on Wednesday. Last month, Honda said it would phase out all diesel vehicle sales in Europe by 2021 in favour of electrified vehicles. “We can also feel the fact that the market around us is expanding. Obviously the legislation around the environment is getting clearer as well. It is the track we are on in terms of the development of the new fully electrified line up.” The European Union has set new rules for carmakers to reduce carbon dioxide vehicle emissions from next year, or face fines. https://www.mining.com/web/honda-brings-forward-goal-to-be-fully-electrified-in-europe-to-2022/ Edited October 29, 2019 by Mark F Fatty Liver, Wideleft and Wanna-B-Fanboy 1 2

Murray, the U.S. coal baron who pressed the Trump administration to help save America’s struggling miners, placed his company into bankruptcy as demand for the fossil fuel continues to weaken. Murray Energy Holdings Co. filed for Chapter 11 protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Columbus, Ohio, to restructure more than $2.7 billion of debt. The miner -- the largest privately owned U.S. coal company -- reached a restructuring support agreement with a group of lenders that provides a new $350 million loan to keep operations going during the reorganization, according to the court filing. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-29/biggest-private-coal-miner-goes-bust-after-trump-rescue-fails Mark F and Wanna-B-Fanboy 2

Very interesting film refreshing in it's honesty, the Chinese govt. has been the main driver in pushing this technological transition faster than expected.

I'm not all that surprised, left to boardrooms protecting their profits, and unions protecting their jobs, progress like this is going to be fought hard and suppressed. If these groups wanted to make the change over to EV production for the betterment of our atmosphere they could easily have begun 50 or more years ago, Big Oil and Wall Street were too greedy to allow it despite the ramifications we now face, If it wasn't for the Chinese govt. pushing ahead with strict mandates this transition would be delayed another 20 years or more. By pushing it now Chinese car makers are challenging the market to keep up with their production or be eliminated from the game. Wideleft and Mark F 2

Also, now those that can afford it have their own fire protection. so it goes with the changing heating planet. interesting places will be say arizona, palm springs, nevada, already blazing hot. They'll probably flock to Arizona where the water table drops 50 ft. every year. Mark F 1
