Hello; interesting. A cherry picking of one of the rare appearances that happens to fit the narrative you favor. Thing is there are several other instances where his comments were not couched so mildly. He has actually very directly made statements about ending fossil fuels on a few occasions. Yet somehow you seem to expect those of us who have seen these videos to not believe our own ears.Here are the sections of the speech from Jan 2021 that many have (falsely) seized upon that the President is "outlawing oil."
Remarks by President Biden Before Signing Executive Actions on Tackling Climate Change, Creating Jobs, and Restoring Scientific Integrity | The White House
State Dining Room 1:37 P.M. EST THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon, everybody. I know the press has just had a longwww.whitehouse.gov
And when the previous administration reversed the Obama-Biden vehicle standard and picked Big Oil companies over American workers, the Biden-Harris administration will not only bring those standards back, we’ll set new, ambitious ones that our workers are ready to meet.
We see these workers building new buildings, installing 500,000 new electric vehicle charging stations across the country as we modernize our highway systems to adapt to the changes that have already taken place. We see American consumers switching to electric vehicles through rebates and incentives, and the residents of our cities and towns breathing cleaner air, and fewer kids living with asthma and dying from it.
And not only that, the federal government owns and maintains an enormous fleet of vehicles, as you all know. With today’s executive order, combined with the Buy American executive order I signed on Monday, we’re going to harness the purchasing power of the federal government to buy clean, zero-emission vehicles that are made and sourced by union workers right here in America.
With everything I just mentioned, this will mean one million new jobs in the American automobile industry. One million. And we’ll do another thing: We’ll take steps towards my goal of achieving 100 percent carbon-pollution-free electric sector by 2035. Transforming the American electric sector to produce power without carbon pollution will be a tremendous spur to job creation and economic competitiveness in the 21st century, not to mention the benefits to our health and to our environment.
...
Unlike previous administrations, I don’t think the federal government should give handouts to big oil to the tune of $40 billion in fossil fuel subsidies. And I’m going to be going to the Congress asking them to eliminate those subsidies.
We’re going to take money and invest it in clean energy jobs in America — millions of jobs in wind, solar, and carbon capture. In fact, today’s actions are going to help us increase renewable energy production from offshore wind and meet our obligation to be good stewards of our public lands.
I support any reduction in cost, but 2 dollars on a tank of gas isn’t going to help me.
Hello; interesting that you can find so many links and quotes to post and somehow cannot find the videos of him talking about ending fossil fuels. Also of interest is how you keep trying to imply that I am listening to some spin from a TV talking head with an agenda. Again videos exist with words out of the man's own mouth.
