the Green New Deal (GND) (now mostly dead) included a lot of real support for oil workers and others who would lose their jobs without this plan -- so, since we didn't get the GND, I would presume a lot of these folks will be losing jobs, but presumably a bunch of them will get jobs to help destroy the planet in other ways -- building highways, etc.

A just transition for workers. This plan will prioritize the fossil fuel workers who have powered our economy for more than a century and who have too often been neglected by corporations and politicians. We will guarantee five years of a worker’s current salary, housing assistance, job training, health care, pension support, and priority job placement for any displaced worker, as well as early retirement support for those who choose it or can no longer work.
