Former Vice Preisdent Joe Biden made clear at Thursday nights Democratic presidential primary debate that hed sacrifice economic growth due to a boom in oil and natural gas production and potentially risk displacing hundreds of thousands of blue-collar workers in order to combat climate change.
Moderator Tim Alberta asked: Three consecutive American presidents have enjoyed stints of explosive economic growth due to a boom in oil and natural gas production. As president, would you be willing to sacrifice some of that growth, even knowing potentially that it could displace thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of blue-collar workers in the interest of transitioning to that greener economy?
The answer is yes, the former vice president said.
But Biden the front-runner in national polling in the Democratic nomination race emphasized that the opportunity for those workers to transition to high-paying jobs is real.
Were the only country in the world thats taken great, great crises and turned them into enormous opportunities, Biden added. [ ]
We shouldnt build another new highway in America that doesnt have charging stations on it. We have an opportunity to put 550,000 charging stations so that we own the electrical vehicle market, creating millions of jobs for people installing them, as well making sure that we own electric vehicle market, Biden explained.

“If said employee wants to be static, uninterested in recent developments, and expecting advancement without effort”
You mean like Joe Biden?
Yep as long as hunter is making that $80K a month screw the jobs of normal Americans. Biden could not give one royal shit about true hard working Americans and their jobs.
This is just breathless in its stupidity. We have perfectly good recharging stations today that have all been largely paid for. They are called gas stations. Biden is proposing to throw away these perfectly good assets before the end of their lifetime and replace them with new charging stations (that dont work very well).
This is the same tired old broken glass fallacy that the Dems trot out many times every year. This doesnt make the U.S. any more wealthy or prosperous unlike new jobs created by private enterprise in competitive markets.
If somebody wants to build a coal-fired power plant, they can. Its just that it will bankrupt them, Under my plan electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.
Joe’s too stupid to be an idiot.
I are Boe Jiden. I are a Retard.
You're just saying that, because it's true...
Someone would make a killing on PPV.
LOL! Ah, Joe’s alright. He’s just dead from the neck up.
May this declaration come back to haunt Quid Pro Quo Joe like Crooked Hillary’s vow to put coal miners out of work.
Biden echoes Obummer’s cavalier attitude about not being able or willing to bring back manufacturing jobs.
Al Gore demonstrated how stupid this was when he lost his home state of Tennessee in the 2000 election; the coal workers didn’t know how to code so they voted to keep their jobs instead.
Okay, I'm no longer buying this is a result of dementia. Ol' Plugs is every bit as red as Crazy Bernie.
Much of the Dem base is only interested in getting someone with a “D” after their name into the White House; as the Kenyan Pirate showed, the person could be a useless dimwit token - they would just be a rubber stamp for the agenda determined by the big donors/elites that actually control the party. Otoken campaigned as someone who would help raise up blacks while opposing gay marriage; when his 8 years were up we had “gay marriage” and black America descending further into misery (to the point where “Black Lies Matter” formed during his tenure). For a brief time after his election in 2008, Obama was still delusional enough to believe his views carried any weight; he then very quickly toed the line set by his masters.
Hillary was already in poor health when she ran in 2016; it really didn’t matter, because if she couldn’t finish the term Lib B (Kane) would have been exactly the same as Lib A if she was incapacitated.
Did I just hear somebody say, “Learn to code?”
attaboy joe...double down on stupid.
Wonder what Biden is thinking about in wanting that many charging stations along the highways without the power to supply them. Does he think “renewable energy” which can’t even supply current needs is going to provide enough for all these charging stations too?
