Labor Helps Obama Energy Secretary Push and Profit from Net Zero Fossil Fuels

DeSmog May 24, 2020 @ 04:00 Progressive activists have called for a Green New Deal, a linking of the U.S. climate and labor movements to create an equitable and decarbonized economy and move away from fossil fuels to address the climate crisis. But major labor unions and President Barack Obama’s Energy Secretary have far different plans. On the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, the AFL–CIO and the Energy Futures Initiative (EFI) a nonprofit founded and run by former Obama Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz launched the Labor Energy Partnership. Unlike those calling for a Green New Deal, though, this alliance supports increased fracking for oil and gas, as well as other controversial technologies that critics say prop up fossil fuels. It’s also an agenda matching a number of the former Energy Secretary’s personal financial investments.

US Jobs In Nuclear And Oil Sectors Pay More Than Renewables

While all jobs in energy pay higher than the national median hourly wage of $19.14, workers in the nuclear industry get a median hourly wage of $39.19, those in natural gas pay $30.33, coal jobs pay a $28.69 hourly wage, and oil jobs pay $26.59, according to the new report from the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO), the Energy Futures Initiative, and BW Research Partnership. In comparison, hourly wages in wind and solar are $25.95 and $24.48, respectively, while jobs in energy efficiency and storage excluding fossil fuels pay even less - $24.44 and $24.36, the report found. The nuclear, electric power transmission and distribution, natural gas, and coal industries support the highest wage premiums compared to the national median - all four industries support hourly wages that are at least 50 percent higher than the national median hourly wage, the authors of the report wrote.
