Same happened after EPA started addressing air quality 40 years ago. New technology drives job growth.

You know what has a negative effect on jobs? Starvation from crop decimation.

As the author of that study, I’d like to clarify, it was 37,000 *net* jobs (after accounting for those lost) and that was only in a single region- the oil- and industry-rich San Joaquin Valley. Statewide benefits are much greater.
