Democrat Joe Biden’s call during the final presidential debate to transition away from the oil industry has thrust energy issues into the center of the campaign in the closing days of his race against President Trump.
Some Democrats in oil-rich states distanced themselves from Mr. Biden’s comments. Mr. Trump highlighted the issue by tweeting a video that his campaign has shown at rallies that includes edited clips of Mr. Biden talking about fracking. The practice, which allows oil and gas to be extracted from shale rock, has...
It will be regarded as the new normal. It is also about climate change and finding more efficient energy solutions.
Fix typo in headline...
With peak oil possibly behind us, and the cost ($ and environmental) of fracking it is disingenuous to make coal type declarations to voters. Nothing wrong with aspiring to transition these high skill workers to renewable and infrastructure jobs.
different key .A bit of tune this time
To Andromache ..and if he done all those things they would simply have invented a few more lies to keep the issue alive .This is Trump repeating his greatest hits ..Hilary 'E mail's sung in a different key.A bit of time this time .
It’s time. Oil is done and it’s time they start coming to terms with it
A disingenuous piece because Biden said he would 'transition' away from oil, which obviously would take time.
Hope the Dems realize what he’s really up to; being steered and pushed by the far left!
He talked fracking in a limited sense for restrictions on federal lands & new permits. He will do this responsibly by gradually growing new energy sources employment & reducing dependence on environment polluting energy sources. Please report truth and no hiding/twisting facts.
JoeBiden is NOT gonna ban fracking ! How many times do I have to repeat it ? His plan would lead America gradually into the clean energy era Should I repeat it again
Private industry is already investing billions on the development and manufacture of electric vehicles, solar power, etc. The move to cleaner energy is happening without big government intrusion. Oil and gas industry are also working hard to adapt.
You used to be a respected newspaper. What happened?
Subsidies...get it right
Listen here, here’s the deal man; this guy is a profesional committee builder. He talks in abstract words, rides the fence on multiple topics and has a long history of politics.
Alternative energy sources are so great? That why CA can't keep the lights on all the time? The anti-fossil fuel types are deluded fantasy addicts. Just more China sell-out whores.
It’s time to focus on a new type of energy and this will help humans technologies advance quicker, this is long term solution but is important to put this in motion now
Another WSJMurdochRag opinion. Thinking that Biden's opinion of fracking will get people to vote for Trump. I thought the WSJ was a world-class newspaper. I guess everything has a price.
Recall, Hillary Clinton went to West Va and stated directly: 'coal jobs are going away and they are not coming back. We need to begin job training for new alternative energy development.' She was accurate and correct. Trump entered and began babbling about 'beautiful coal.'
In response to the opioid epidemic, President Trump declared a national public health emergency in 2017 and has provided several billion dollars in grants to states for treatment, prevention, and recovery services and for expanding access to buprenorphine treatment for addiction.
What’s the problem with fracking?
They should he is not a leader
Because Mercer owned WSJ is not working to spread division and disinformation..
They’re like 😳...
Opposing water and people poisoning is political liability? Only in plutocracy and unfair election system.
We need fracking!
How do you distance yourself from the statements of your Presidential candidate and seek votes for him at the same time?
Endless lies by Trump, and all the media wants to focus on is this single thing Biden said, taking it out of context.
Who want's fracking except the guy who's making millions on it.
Fracking uses over 100 chemicals that have not been EPA tested, they end up in our water. The lack of corporate ethics, Refugio spill claimed only running at 10% of capacity but increased capacity w a 6 mile slant drilled fracking line then no maintenance resulting in failure.
So has his running mate.
ALACARDO | AMONG US MEMES
😱😤
Joe has the capacity to mess things up. This election is his to lose.
Trump told one lie after another in last night’s debate. He did so about the virus, North Korea, China, Russia, climate change, his own health care policy, Joe Biden’s health care policy, Biden’s finances and the immigrant children who were separated from their parents.
Auto manufacturing companies are moving away from fossil fuel!!! Hybrid and fully electric cars. It’s what people want.
We're so use to Trump's open corruption & incompetence that 3 days after we discovered the sitting president of the United States has a secret Chinese bank account - it has already disappeared down the memory hole. Just imagine if that exact same story had been tied to Joe Biden
You gotta love it when a liar gets caught in his own lies.
BidenFossilFuelBan USA, JoeBiden will destroy your Cars, Trucks and Home Generation assets. USA, imagine food and supply costs when Biden destroys the Trucking Fleets, Locomotive fuel sources. USA, imagine a long winter with no fuel for your home furnace. BeijingDoughJoe
America doesn’t control the oil markets at all. Voters in oil-rich states understand this and don’t appreciate Wall Street telling them what to think.
Joe wants the US to be dependent on Saudi Oil
Really fracked up his response. Drilled himself in the foot
Wonder why...
