Wins:

  1. Moving away from fossil fuel dependence

  2. Actually giving workers a human chance to develop new skills at a healthy pace and adapt instead of the bludgeoning pace in the US of layoffs, no training and a frantic job search.

As a Polish person (living abroad) I am equally delighted as I am surprised to keep hearing good things coming out of my country recently. It felt like a string of cringe and shame for years. Then suddenly it's like I jumped to an alternative timeline.

imagine that, actually helping people and striving to make societal progress instead of just using "but muh jerbs" as the shittiest got'cha imaginable

I can't imagine the workers are too upset to be done with all that coal dust and claustrophobic environments. They get training, great work, and less health issues. I'd love to hear how these workers feel a year after moving from coal to wind. Would be interesting!

Nice to see workers actually get a means to a new livelihood instead of just being told to deal their regions economy being hit, and then having welfare cut.
