Thousands of oil industry workers are bound to lose their jobs in the coming years as California shifts toward green energy, but a $60 million displacement and training fund will not get any new cash in the coming fiscal year.

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s 2023-24 budget proposal has no funding for the displaced workers who are now trying to learn jobs capping wells and in other sectors. This has angered workers who fear they will soon stand in the unemployment line.

California is trying to get as close to a green economy as possible with numerous measures such as scaled-back oil production, new wind farms, and outlawing sales of gas-guzzling cars by 2035. In contrast, more than $1 billion has been spent on programs to grow a green economy, including $500 million to a fund for new green projects and $300 million to cities with large unemployment and poverty numbers.
