Environmentalism Is Good Business

We Americans are good at politicizing everything and debating things that really only have one side.  The Russian invasion of Ukraine is a good example, but it’s only one of hundreds.

What about environmental issues?  It’s common for conservatives to say that things like clean energy and transportation are job killers, but is there any evidence of that?  Suppose we decide to phase out fossil fuels in favor of renewable energy sources.  Sure, there are about 80,000 people involved in coal mining, but there are already 230,000 Americans (6.5 million worldwide) employed in the solar industry alone, and that number is growing by the day.
