Guest essay by Eric Worrall
During Thursday’s Presidential debate, President Biden made a clear statement that he intends to transition away from the oil industry. My question – what part does Burisma play in this plan?
…
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Would you close down the oil industry?
FORMER VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: I would transition from the oil industry, yes.
TRUMP: Oh, that’s a big statement.
BIDEN: It is a big statement.
KRISTEN WELKER: Why would you do that?
BIDEN: Because the oil industry pollutes. It has to be replaced by renewable energy over time. And I’d stop giving federal subsidies to the oil industry. He won’t give federal subsidies to solar and wind. Why are we giving it to the oil industry?
TRUMP: We actually do give it to solar and wind. And that’s maybe the biggest statement, in terms of business, because basically what he’s saying is he’s going to destroy the oil industry. Will you remember that, Texas? Will you remember that, Pennsylvania? Oklahoma? Ohio?

Obviously a scheme to shut down the US fossil fuel industry incurs a risk that the fossil fuel industry might be “transitioned” too quickly, that an energy gap might develop as the US fossil fuel industry is decommissioned.
Just speculating here, but perhaps that is why Biden’s son built a relationship with Burisma. Thank’s to Hunter Biden’s foreign oil and gas industry contacts, if a large transitional energy gap develops as US fossil fuel assets are decommissioned, say if the decommissioning process proceeds too quickly, companies like the Ukrainian gas giant Burisma will be able to step in, and help fill the gap between US supply and demand for energy by selling their product to the USA.
Was watching CNN and Wolf Blitzer earlier today.
A democratic senator and good friend of Joe Bidens(according to Wolf, not me) was on.
The topic was Joe Biden saying clearly that he would ban fracking during the democrat debates, then recently, saying that he would not ban fracking.
He asked the senator about this (and already knew they answer).
His response was that Joe Biden meant that he would ban fracking only on federal land and not private land and almost no fracking is on federal land, so it would not affect fracking in PA.
Wolf repeated that then, said, in conclusion: “just so that we are clear on this, if you live in PA, you can vote for Joe Biden and you won’t have to worry about him banning fracking in your state”
Wow, what a crock.
Whatever he wants to call it, the Green New Deal or the Biden Deal, the main objective is TO ELIMINATE FOSSIL FUELS.
Natural gas is a fossil fuel that we get from fracking.
This “using natural gas for the transition” is complete bs too. The objective it to completely get rid of all fossil fuels forever, including natural gas.
The truth is, that they will never be able to do it because it’s nothing but the Green(Biden) Fairy Tale with made up facts about jobs, costs, the economy and the physical laws of energy but regardless THE PLAN is to get rid of all fossil fuels.
You can’t be for the plan and be for fracking to continue.
It would be like………..in this presidential election, telling all my friends that are republicans that I want Donald Trump to win.
Then, when I am with friends that are democrats, telling them that I really want Biden to be elected.
You are either for the Biden New Deal or you are for fracking. You can’t be for both.
In meteorology/weather:
If the skies are completely cloudy right now outside, it can’t be sunny. As a meteorologist, If I predicted sunny skies today and there isn’t a ray of sunshine all day, I was wrong…………or was I?
Well, you can still be right if you just apply Joe Biden’s methodology for determining weather forecast verification.
It really was sunny all day like in the forecast……………..above the clouds. When I made the prediction…. I really meant above the clouds, not on the ground where people live (-:
Seriously, that’s how dishonest his explanation is for endorsing his plan to eliminate fossil fuels but somehow, not banning fracking.
“His response was that Joe Biden meant that he would ban fracking only on federal land and not private land”
Well, a president can’t ban fracking on private land. That’s why Barack Obama did not ban fracking on private land, because he could not legally do so. And neither can Joe Biden.
Of course, if the Democrats win, they could pass laws that would allow the banning of fracking on private land.
Don’t let the Democrats win.
More smoking gun evidence on Bidens

It’s even funnier because it strikes so close to home:

Thank you for that. 🙂
The problem is that folks have seen Biden give a credible performance in two debates. Trump tried to steamroll him in the first debate and Biden did not turn into a whimpering puddle on the floor. Of course that raises the question of whether or not Biden is on performance enhancing drugs. link That sword cuts both ways because it looked like Trump had something like roid rage after his treatment for the Wuhan flu. I’m guessing people will think Biden needs enhancement to keep going and Trump doesn’t. Maybe they could do some commercials with Trump as the Energizer Bunny.
There’s no evidence the Democrat party has learned anything at all after losing bigly in 2016. They deserve to lose even more bigly this time. Listen Liberal!
“There’s no evidence the Democrat party has learned anything at all after losing bigly in 2016.”
No, they haven’t. They have just gotten more radical, and really nasty, as time goes along.
There is an element of truth in all great humor. That element is strong in this one.
Scare the people Joey…..ooooooh it’s a cold winter coming…..but remind them that you can save them……if they vote for you. Tell them that they will be safe in your hands and have no more worries. Tell them that maybe you didn’t fix everything last time….but this time will be different. IT WILL BE A VERY COLD WINTER IF JOEY STEALS THE ELECTION.
All the media outlets here in Aus are dumping on Trump and championing Biden (Backed by Clinton). Just for that I wish for a Trump win.
GO TRUMP! (From a Britton and a New Zealander in Australia).
All the Media outlets in the Western Democracies are on the same page politically. They all promote the Leftwing agenda. They all attempt to mislead the consumers of their biased product.
People were smarter than to listen to the Leftwing Media in 2016. Maybe they will be smart enough to ignore the Leftwing Media in 2020, too. Ten more days.
Without oil how will any green electric generation equipment be manufactured, facilities constructed and operated?
“Without oil how will any green electric generation equipment be manufactured, facilities constructed and operated?”
That’s a question President Trump addressed during the debate. Biden and the Moderator ignored what he said, most likely because they didn’t have a good reply.
Trump said trying to run the US economy on windmills was a “Pipedream”, and he told Joe that Joe was going to need oil in order to build his windmills. Joe had no reply to Trump’s statments, and the moderator wanted to move on to another question, so Trump’s statements were ignored. But I heard them.
You make it sound as if Biden had a strategic plan to put his son on the board of Burisma just so that Burisma could sell oil to the US in the event that Biden becomes president and closes down America’s oil industry, as if Burisma wouldn’t sell oil to America of it’s own accord, or any other foreign oil producer wouldn’t for that matter. We know in fact that it had more to do with bribery and corruption than strategic planning.
Ignorance abounds among our leftist politicians.
Almost all wells drilled on USA federal land are hydraulically fracture stimulated, “fracked”. Wells drilled in the Gulf of Mexico offshore are generally not fracture stimulated. It is all about physical reality.
So, candidate Joe wants to eliminate most of the hydrocarbon development in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and other areas. His intent will also destroy vast natural gas fields in the western USA that have not been fully developed and which the country will need. He will destroy assets and energy supplies for which the development rights are owned by various enterprises. This amounts to confiscation of private property on a continental scale. I think this is immoral and unconstitutional.
“And I’d stop giving federal subsidies to the oil industry.”
That Biden said that “subsidies to the oil industry” are a thing may be one of his most serious mental blunders.
And that one can’t be attributed to a “stutter”!
