Joe Biden has taken more than 322 pro-environment actions since become President and likely isn’t done.

I know everyone thinks they’re an expert on everything on the internet now, but I have 3 decades of experience in environmental remediation and coal is the filthiest, most destructive energy source one could imagine. It’s an environmental and biological wrecking ball. This is important.

@TonyStark Remember when Trump wanted the US to replace nuclear air craft carriers with coal powered ones?? And legitimately asked if a coal powered submarine could be a thing?

@GabeMoralesVR Good point.

Do you remember the big announcement by EXXON during the Carter administration that only they can solve the the energy crisis, not Jimmy Carter, by mining lignite from a vast clean coal deposit in the state of Wyoming to extract syn-fuel to take the place of OPEC? Wonder why that didn't happen? (rhetorical question)

@GoatRoper

One of the main reasons why we haven’t made enough progress on averting the negative effects of climate change is because Big Oil has invested billions in public relations to specifically obfuscate their responsibility while attempting to shift the blame to others.

"Natural gas"

"Clean coal"

"Carbon footprint"

These are all concepts Big Oil either made up or popularized so that they'd seem like they were doing the right thing. Never have, never will.

When they got Reagan elected, nobody heard anything about lignite syn-fuel ever again. Jimmy Carter was way ahead of his time. That's why all the corporate "not heads" hated him. They set us back 45 years in the effort to stop climate change. I don't know if we will ever do it.

@GoatRoper If Trump gets back in, definitely not. It would also be nice to have a Democratic House and Senate so we could pass some legislation and then everything Biden does wouldn’t be able to be sued away every time.

@TonyStark - +1 on this. A good buddy is a career EPA guy. He's been very happy with their progress during this administration.

Michael Regan’s appointment was a big deal in my house.

@TonyStark 1 word…Nuclear

@Computeforloot I wrote a separate post about that the other day and a bunch of people fear mongered at me. It’s a great option to put in the lineup.

Sincerelyagain,

@TonyStark I thought war is the biggest environmental disaster, and it seems he has done a lot to further that side of things?

@Sincerelyagain Maybe you could actually read my post but that’s beyond your skill level I guess.
