Renewable energy also turns out to be beneficial in the employment area. For example, in Iowa, wind energy resulted in the creation of 9000 new jobs. Besides being cheaper than coal, it also promotes job increases. In the renewable energy field, more jobs can be generated than jobs in the coal field. In the US more and more Americans work in the solar energy field than in coal. In Colorado, for example, employment in this field increased by 20 percent from 2015 to 2016.
