Editorial: Don't Believe The Naysayers. We Can Electrify The Economy Without Leaving Workers Behind

12 Oct 2023 | Abstracted from LA Times

"The U.S. economy is in the early stages of an once-in-a-lifetime shift from an economy powered by fossil fuels...bad-faith actors are trying to exploit workers' anxieties about their role in a zero-emission future

"Some workers may fear that vehicle electrification will leave them behind. But there is no evidence that it will cause a broad swath of blue-collar jobs to disappear...Contrast that with Trump's opportunistic defeatism, which only plays into the hands of oil and gas companies that stand to profit from any delay in phasing out their polluting products."
