Just Transition From Coal-based Electrical Energy Economy
The bill creates the just transition office in the division of employment and training in the department of labor and employment. Beginning in 2025, the office, led by a director, will administer the following:
Benefits to coal transition workers to enable them to support themselves and their families and to access and complete education and training, resulting in being hired for high-quality jobs; and
Grants to eligible entities in coal transition communities that seek to create a more diversified, equitable, and vibrant economic future for those communities.
An electric utility that proposes to retire a coal-fueled electric generating facility shall submit to the office a workforce transition plan at least 90 days before the retirement of the facility.
The bill creates a just transition advisory committee to advise the director regarding implementation of the bill.
So that's nice.
But there's no plan here to recreate these jobs. It sounds the same "transition everyone to the service economy" BS from Obama.
