In that jobs are inversely proportional to the amount of productivity in an industry, one would conclude that coal mining jobs are very productive and solar not so much. This is not an argument for solar, because if the amount of jobs is what matters, then we should be putting tons of money into the post office. Do we still have 700K people delivering snail main?
