Biden has won praise for some climate progress during his first term, particularly his recent pause on liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports. However, the Democrat has also come under fire for supporting the Willow oil project and Mountain Valley Pipeline, continuing fossil fuel lease sales, and skipping last year’s United Nations summit.
On Tuesday, the Biden administration approved the construction of Houston-based Enterprise Product Partners’ Sea Port Oil Terminal off the Texas Gulf Coast.
Sunrise called the move “very disappointing,” and pointed out on social media that the project is set to “be the largest oil export terminal in the U.S.”
Moore predicted the next presidential election will mirror Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016 if Biden does not demand a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war. The filmmaker argued that Biden will end up losing battleground states like Michigan by a slim margin because voters upset with his support of Israel will stay home.
“Be a politician for once. What does a politician want most? To get reelected,” he said. “Why are you guaranteeing possibly losing the election and Trump being back in the White House? What is fricking wrong with you?”
