Jet-set Biden vows ‘climate-friendly’ military, flexes gas-guzzling Corvette
NY Post ^ | April 22, 2022 | By Steven Nelson

President Biden on Friday celebrated Earth Day in Seattle with a rambling speech vowing to make “every vehicle” in the military “climate-friendly” while admitting his personal fleet includes a prized Corvette that “does nothing but pollute.”

Biden didn’t offer specifics while telling local Democrats in a park that he intends to cut the emissions of war machines like tanks, helicopters and fighter jets.

“I’m going to start the process for every vehicle in the United States military — every vehicle — is going to be climate-friendly — every vehicle. No, I mean it. We’re spending billions of dollars to do it,” Biden said.

The president, who uses large amounts of fossil fuels for regular weekend trips home to Delaware, admitted he’s had a hard time practicing what he is preaching.

“I’m an automobile buff. I have a ’68 Corvette that does nothing but pollute the air. But I don’t drive it very much,” Biden joked, appearing to refer to his 1967 Corvette Stingray.

Biden went on to tell his crowd that he has asthma as a result of oil refineries near his childhood home in northern Delaware — despite the fact that his doctor didn’t note the ailment in an annual health report last year.

“When it came to spring, I mean it came the fall — this is the God’s truth — and you get in a car and there’s a little frost on the window, you turn on the windshield wiper, there’d be an oil slick, not a joke,” Biden said.

I can see this prick driving around in his Corvette with aviator sunglasses on screeching the tires around young girls.

My God, it just never ends. Now he has asthma because they lived near a refinery and he got an oil slick on his windshield from that refinery.

“...his childhood home in northern Delaware” — You’d never know it from his constant talking up about his childhood in Scranton, PA. Apparently the family did move to Delaware when he was 10.

Off topic, but his annoying, meaningless and inane verbal tics really annoy me. “No, I mean it” and “not a joke.” He used BOTH of them in this brief talk.

I can see how a climate friendly helicopter could work, really I do.

Take out the engine and replace it with a big rubber band. Then take ropes, tie them to the tips of the rotors, then hitch the other end to mules.

Have them walk around in circles for several hours and bingo! You have a climate friendly helicopter.

C’mon man, this Joe fellow has it all figured out!

He isn't going to be POTUS* long enough for that to happen.

“every vehicle” in the military"

How many charging station are on a battlefield. This man is an idiot with progressive alzhimers or cerebral vascular dysfunction from his passed brain bleeds. He is not mentally capable.

He had an oil slick on his windshield when he was a kid. Now he has an oil slick in his underwear. Joe is such lying blowhard.

“I’m an automobile buff. I have a ’68 Corvette that does nothing but pollute the air.”


First, Mr Car Buff, is it a ‘67 or a ‘68, I’d think a buff would know/remember. Second, if all it does is ‘pollute the air’, I think you’re doing it wrong.

A tank like the M1 Abrams gets about .6 mpg, and a cargo vehicle like the M-1070 semi-trailer (designed to haul tanks) gets approximately 1.2 mpg.
