Joe Biden Debate Pledge To Transition Away From Fossil Fuels Could Cost Him Pennsylvania and Other Energy States

Posted by Mike LaChance on October 23, 2020 33 Comments

Saying the United States should transition away from fossil fuels is a popular idea on the left. It's not workable in real life, however. Millions of people depend on fossil fuels not only to heat and light their homes, but for their jobs.

This was red meat for his base and the Bernie Sanders wing of the party, but it won't play with millions of voters who live in the real world.
