Biden: There Won’t Be a Place for Fossil Fuels if I’m President, ‘We Would Make Sure It’s Eliminated’

Jay Inslee responds to Biden on fossil fuels: "We can not 'work it out'. We can not work this out. The time is up. Our house is on fire. We have to stop using coal in 10 years, and we need a president to do it or it won't get done. Get off coal. Save this country and the planet." pic.twitter.com/dZxeCBzu4l

During Wednesday’s CNN Democratic debate, 2020 presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden stated that there wouldn’t be any place for fossil fuels under a Biden administration and “We would make sure it’s eliminated, and no more subsidies for…any fossil fuel.”

Moderator Dana Bash asked, “Would there be any place for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking in a Biden administration?”

Biden responded, “No. We would work it out. We would make sure it’s eliminated, and no more subsidies for either one of those, either — any fossil fuel.”
