Harmful industries shouldn't be continued as some kind of jobs program.

I didn't say anywhere in that that it should be the same industry. I meant that they should be transitioned away from this industry to different jobs that they could reasonably do. If we have to kill off a place where people work, we should at least try to care about the people who will inevitably get left behind now that the job they've been doing for years, possibly decades, is defunct. Finding opportunities for them in jobs that won't harm the environment or other people that they'd be well-qualified for is the only thing I can think of doing that wouldn't potentially ruin their lives.
