I don’t think that Biden’s answer was all that well thought out – but very much in line with how Democrats feel about fossil fuel regardless of its importance to our economy now. After all, there is that old saying “you can’t make omelettes without breaking a few eggs”; Biden made it clear that even a few hundred thousands of “eggs” (blue collar works ALREADY in high paying jobs in the oil fields and associated industries) is a perfectly acceptable price to pay to go to “renewables” (like Solyndra??).
Sorry Joe, but one can’t just say “new” jobs and expect to have people believe you. We’ve been hearing this for 25 years – when is it going to happen? And what will all those employees (and their families) going to do when it doesn’t work out like Obama/Hillary’s coal miners (“we gonna put you out of work”) when there AREN’T any of those high paying jobs to be found? Funcations, courtesy of Unemployment?
Besides, have you seen how toxic some of those new renewables are? PV panels are a witches brew of chemical horribles and those windmill blades aren’t compostable any time soon.
