According to a DOE report by the Obama administration in January, there were over twice as many solar power creation jobs in 2016 as there were coal power creation jobs.
Wyoming and West Virginia had the highest ratio of coal power creation jobs. California and Nevada had the highest rate of solar power jobs per capita in 2016.
Power creation jobs in Tennessee are highest in hydroelectric, solar, oil and other fossil fuels
Recently a TVA spokesperson indicated they would not add more coal plants even if the current administration pushes for more coal jobs.
