- _ph_ 7y ago"Jobs" is never a great argument to defend a technology overtaken by development. It is an especially bad argument in this context, because not only is coal endangering the whole society, but when we close down coal plants, we continue to need electricity. So the coal plants are replaced, usually these days with renewable sources. And those tend to be more labor-intensive than coal. So "jobs" is actually a good reason to close down coal plants.
