Automation / Moving to Renwables will lead to some people losing their jobs, but a net increase in well-paying jobs. But people, their livelihoods, their personal dignity aren’t fungible; or at least they shouldn’t be!
When things like this happen (i.e. net increase but some people pay the cost), it would be nice if we could use some of the extra value to compensate the victims of progress, so that it would be net increase for everyone.
Not sure how to handle the “dignity” part, but maybe find a set of similar jobs and offer free training?
