Correct. The high employment of the renewable sector is a mark of how inefficient it is. Given access to finance, any fool can create jobs, by digging holes and filling them in again.
True progress consists in reducing labour and increasing wealth and quality of life. Technology has done that. Not politicians.

Renewable energy is simply another solution that doesn't in fact work to a problem that doesn't in fact exist.

If you dont like the smell of coal and the mining deaths, build nuclear power stations instead. statistically the very very safest form of energy in actual deaths per unit electricity generated.
