Reply to comment by COZRUN in More people are employed in clean energy than in fossil fuels by kickresume

Renewables are being constructed at an extremely rapid rate. Installing millions (billions?) of solar panels requires a ton of people. I suspect most of these job numbers are in construction, not operations like it is for fossil generation. The article states 70% of the clean energy jobs are in "building out" the projects.

Yeah and growing rapidly. Just got hired at a Dutch firm making smart grid/battery/car chargers etc. They grow about 50% a year. It's not just Tesla growing at this rate

Any electric transport company able to grow at that rate will.
