Not quite. It’s more of a political salve. “Look those jobs are going away, but we’ll also have other jobs with this new green energy”. Cutting carbon jobs can hurt specific areas quite a bit. A broken window fallacy would be more like “Let’s adopt this new green energy because it is currently less efficient on a cost basis and so will create new jobs” Or saying “green energy won’t cost anything because it will create new jobs”. Some people may be saying that one, but I think most people spouting the jobs line are trying to build political goodwill on places currently dependent on carbon jobs.
