A 2020 study which focuses on China, India, the US, and Australia, which represent 70% of global coal production, and investigates: (1) the local solar and wind capacity required in each coal mining area to enable all coal miners to transition to solar/wind jobs; (2) whether there are suitable solar and wind power resources in coal mining areas in order to install solar/wind plants and create those jobs; and (3) the scale of renewables deployment required to transition coal miners in areas suitable for solar/wind power.

When the Dominion Corporation proposed, on April 1, 2013, to build a liquefied natural gas export facility at Cove Point, Md., right on the Chesapeake Bay, seven hundred people demonstrated against it and many were arrested in a series of civil disobedience actions. But an open letter endorsing the project maintained it would “create more than 3,000 construction jobs” most of which would go “to local union members.” The letter—on Dominion letterhead—was signed not only by business leaders, but also by twenty local and national trade union leaders.

A 2019 dissertation which explores the political-economic, social, and cultural dynamics of coal plant closures and the emergent grassroots movement to facilitate a 'just transition' for workers and communities who are disproportionately burdened by shifting energy economies.

A 2021 dissertation in which the author conducted a systematic review of the academic literature on 'just transition' to synthesize identified elements of 'just transition'. Next, the author collected a novel employment factors dataset and combined it with an integrated assessment model to analyze the energy sector employment implications of climate policies. Whether ‘local’ renewable jobs can be created for fossil fuel workers in key coal producing countries is also assessed. Finally, several novel datasets were collected to quantify and compare the scale of current socio-economic dependency on coal at the district level in India.
