My brother told me his factory job in Toledo is more secure because of natural gas
He said the push to close plants for climate goals ignores the families that depend on them. Has anyone found a way to support those workers while still cutting emissions?

Sounds like your brother's factory is getting some good PR. Natural gas is cleaner than coal, sure, but it's still a fossil fuel. The real question is what happens when the next price spike hits or regulations tighten again. Those jobs might not be as safe as they seem.

Natural gas is a bandaid, not a cure. Those jobs hang on price swings and political moods, not stability. Retraining and clean energy investment is the only real answer for those families.
