Biden Says He'll Close Down Oil Industry During Debate With Trump

 President Donald Trump and former Vice president Joe Biden debated one last time last night, and it was clear to everyone that President Trump stole the show, as Biden alienated millions of Americans employed by the oil industry.

Trump's repeated attack on Biden in questioning why for 8 years in the Obama administration he did none of the things he now says he will do if elected president, was Trump’s most effective point of attack.

ABC’s Jake Tapper agreed.

 “Biden struggled when Trump confronted him with the question of: you’ve been in politics for 47 years, you were Vice President for 8 years, why didn’t you do that then?” said Tapper.

But while both men appeared to control their emotions and not talk over one another like they did in the first debate, the moment may have tipped the scales in favor of Trump was when the men were asked about the environment.

Biden’s assertion that he would “close down the oil industry” could very well have sunk him in the crucially important swing states of Pennsylvania and Ohio.

Texas is also in play, and Biden is spending a lot of money in hopes to steal away the usually RedState, but considering that tens of thousands of jobs have been created by Lone Star state’s Oil and Gas industry, Biden will most-likely lose the state after saying he wanted to end the industry.

Biden made the ill-fated oil industry remark after Trump asked him if he would indeed close down the industry.

Trump: “Would he close down the oil industry?” “Would you close down the oil industry?”

Biden: “I would transition from the oil industry, yes,” Biden responded.

Trump: “That’s a big statement.”

Biden: “It is a big statement, because…the oil industry pollutes, significantly.” “It has to be replaced by renewable energy over time. And I’d stop giving to the oil industry—I’d stop giving them federal subsidies. [Trump] won’t give federal subsidies to solar and wind. Why are we giving it to the oil industry?”

Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) tweeted out to his home state and to Pennsylvanians about Biden's call to "effectively killing an estimated 11 million jobs" when he said he would close down the oil industry.

 

According to a recent report by the Texas Independent Producers and Royalty Owners (TIPRO) Association,  321,455 Texans are directly employed by the Oil and Gas industry.

But considering that Pennsylvania is once again in play this election cycle and that it has a massive fracking operation, Biden just lost that state as well.

Biden may have lost Pennsylvania when he and Vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris both said that they wanted to end fracking.
