For several months now, we have told you our concerns about a potential Joe Biden presidency, as relates to the oil and gas industry’s future. And in those statements, we have pointed out that it is not just Biden that one has to be concerned about, but also the radical leftists behind him, who make up a growing share of “his” Democrat Party.
The key excerpt. But now, after his presidential debate performance last night (Thursday night) against incumbent U.S. President Donald Trump, it is crystal clear—Joe Biden wants to get rid of the U.S. oil and gas (O&G) industry—totally. If you don’t believe it, consider this exchange between Trump and Biden, transcribed by The Tennessean newspaper (Nashville) and other sources:
Trump: Would you close down the oil industry?
Biden: I would transition from the oil industry. Yes.
Trump: Oh, transition. That’s a big statement.
(Moderator): Why would you do that?
Biden: Because the oil industry pollutes, significantly.
Biden did not support that last comment with any additional facts or statistics, and continued with a meandering statement as to why renewable energy has to replace oil and gas, and that the federal government needs to stop giving subsidies to the industry, while it supposedly fails to give to solar and wind. “We actually do give it to solar and wind,” countered Trump. Furthermore, Biden failed to mention that the U.S. O&G industry has made great strides toward “clean energy,” which refers to the clean production of these fossil fuels with little or no emissions.
