      You’re looking in the wrong place then. Most of the jobs are in private industry; very few are in government.

          Tough to give a specific answer without knowing your location and full background, but I’ve seen a lot of people shift to working on or another piece of decarbonization in recent years

              I’m sure you meant clean coal, right?

              But I do know someone who works in solar panels installation in the US and says business is pretty good and firm has been growing!

                That’s good to hear.

                In Germany the jobs in the coal industry needed protection. At the same time the solar sector was reduced drastically over the last ten years and the jobs went abroad.

                Edit: i don’t know what you mean with “clean coal”
