You are incorrect. 90% of the new jobs in the USA are in the resurgence of the plastics and chemical industries spurred along by fracking and the resultant affordable raw materials. The american oil industry is coming alive again, much less imports of oil.
And you can thank their fracking for the fact the oil price is low and your petrol and diesel is $1.30 or so and not $2.50 a litre.
"Jobs in renewables"
This simply means a high cost now, in installation, and a high cost in maintenance, in the future.
We all know to keep power costs down we need big plants employing a minimum number of people.

What I said, is that there are more jobs being created in the renewables industry than are being lost in the coal industry. That is 100% correct.
Warble on about fracking as much as you like, but you'll find what I said is 100% correct.
"90% of new jobs ... in ... plastics and chemical industries"
that would be tricky with restuarant jobs being between 20 and 40% of all new jobs 2010-2106
