Will Biden's clean energy push lead to a jobs boom?

Good-paying jobs — lots of them. That′s the promise around which President Joe Biden is proposing to transform the U.S. energy sector, with the goal of making it energy-efficient, environmentally friendly and a catalyst for long-term economic growth.

As Biden portrays it, his plan to invest in infrastructure — including a shift to renewable energy, electric vehicles and upgrades to the nation's power grid — would produce jobs at least as good as the ones that might be lost in the process. His plans call for 100% renewable energy in the power sector by 2035.  To people who have devoted careers to the the fossil fuel industries, those plans may look more like a dire threat. To the president, though, out-of-work oil workers could be shifted to other jobs — plugging uncapped oil wells, for example — and thousands more positions would be created to help string power lines and build electric vehicles and their components.
