Poland begins retraining coal miners to work in wind farms
notesfrompoland.com
Poland produces around 70% of its electricity from coal but has plans to replace that with renewables and nuclear.

Wins:

  1. Moving away from fossil fuel dependence

  2. Actually giving workers a human chance to develop new skills at a healthy pace and adapt instead of the bludgeoning pace in the US of layoffs, no training and a frantic job search.

    I can’t imagine the workers are too upset to be done with all that coal dust and claustrophobic environments. They get training, great work, and less health issues. I’d love to hear how these workers feel a year after moving from coal to wind. Would be interesting!
