It’s becoming a pattern: anti-energy activists and fringe politicians claim to support a “just transition” for oil and natural gas workers to as-yet-uncreated jobs in other sectors. But then they applaud when those workers lose their jobs and future opportunities in oil and natural gas, and struggle to find other jobs to replace them.

Those who claim to support a “just transition” would be expected to sympathize with these young Americans.
