h/t Dr. Willie Soon; Joe Biden wants to jail oil executives for causing climate change, though he wants everyone to believe he does not intend to ban fracking, despite what he said in the Presidential Debate. My question – when the police are defunded, who will Biden ask to slap on the handcuffs?
Biden Suggested Jailing Fossil Fuel Executives to Fight Climate Change in 2019
Former Vice President Joe Biden suggested last year that, if elected, his administration would seek to fight climate change by any possible measure, including jailing fossil fuel executives for excessive pollution.
Biden, who is under fire for his position on fracking in the closing days of the presidential contest, made the comments during a campaign swing through New Hampshire in 2019 ahead of the state’s first in the nation primary. During an event with supporters in Peterborough, the former vice president was asked about what the consequences to America would be if the country did not stop using fossil fuels in the future–to which Biden responded, “we’re all dead.”
“We have to set sort of guide rails down now, so between the years 2021 and 2030, it’s irreversible, the path we set ourselves on. And one of which is doing away with any substance for fossil fuels – number one,” Biden said during the event.
“Number two, holding them liable for what they have done,” the former vice president said of fossil fuel executives, “particularly in those cases where your underserved neighborhoods and – you know the deal, okay. And by the way, when they don’t want to deliver, put them in jail. I’m not joking about this.”

This desire to arrest oil executives might be seen as a contradiction of Joe Biden’s position that he will allow fracking, but perhaps he intends that arrangements will be made for oil executives to manage their fracking operations from special jail cells provided with full internet and telephone access.
Of course to arrest the oil executives, someone has to be sent out to actually slap on the handcuffs. Given strong democrat support for defunding the police, perhaps Joe Biden could ask one of those new police replacement community outreach workers to politely ask the executives to come quietly. Or maybe Biden will ask BLM or Antifa militias to make a citizens arrest.
Update (EW): h/t Breitbart; video of Biden saying “we should put them in jail”.

That is what Hugo Chavez did to PDVSA, the national (govt-run) oil company in Venezuela. Chavez replaced professionals and executives with political hacks and his faithful military personnel. When things began to break and goals were not achieved by the incapable leaders installed by the dictator, guess what happened. PDVSA went to h___, oil production collapsed and now Venezuela has to buy gasoline from Iran with gold bars. Their money is worthless. The socialist dictator and his successor have greatly damaged a country replete with many and diverse natural resources. People have been and are starving and fleeing the country. PDVSA was a credible, increasingly modern and sophisticated industrial company managing the world’s largest oil resources. Now, a failed mess. There is a long history to this and it began in the late 1990s.
In the meantime, they punished the real workers for failing to properly follow the orders of the political hacks.
You don’t expect the political hacks to take responsibility, did you?
I see fewer and fewer references to Joe as “decent”. I wonder if those who have described him thusly will eventually feel some shame, or maybe already are. When I look at his face what I see is a combination of mean and stupid.
“When I look at his face what I see is a combination of mean and stupid.”
Joe Biden is a perfect representative of the Radical Left. They are mean and stupid just like he is.
Biden is speaking gibberish, or “malarkey”, a favorite word of his. I don’t think even he knows what he meant. It’s mostly word salad. And yet strangely, the audience loved it. Maybe because they knew what he meant (or thought they did). Nonetheless, we know that he has it in for fossil fuels, and yes, fracking, though he tries to deny it. It doesn’t even matter what he was referring to as the “reason” for jailing oil execs. If they can be jailed for “failing to deliver”, then they most certainly can be jailed for “destroying the planet, and lying about it”.
Biden wants to “close down the virus not the country”.
And for some observers that was an impressive moment of the second debate. They seem to believe it’s a strategy.

Joe Biden . . . what an IDIOT!
“Joe Biden Wants to Jail Oil Executives”
Soon to be followed by everyone else who dares to disagree with a progressive.
“when the police are defunded, who will Biden ask to slap on the handcuffs?”
Don’t worry, the Royal Guards will always be allowed to carry guns and handcuffs.
but joe, you were making the laws that allowed it to happen, which under the best scenario, makes you culpable as an accessory before, during and after the fact.. and you took donations* (bribes) from the same people you now want to put in jail..
He just wants them as roommates in the country club prison he should be in soon.
FWIW (from a Brit’s pov): The DNC know that Biden has enriched himself and his family but they are stuck with their nominee. That said, they also know a patsy when they see one and see a chance to get their main ‘man’ into the mix. I believe they plan to remove Biden – he will be persuaded to go and enjoy his ill-gotten gains (unless he argues the toss) – leaving the DNC with the double-coup of having a Woman and a BAME for their President AND the Vice Presidency ‘offered’ (given) to the woman who has damaged the USA more than any other person in high office, Hillary Clinton. Welcome to the Harris/Clinton presidency in 2021.
In God we (you) Trust….But God help us. Trump has to win.
It is not the oil company executives but rather the users of fossil fuels that are responsible for the “pollution” If CO2 is pollution then all hydrocarbon based animal life that breathe in O2, are poluters because they exhale CO2 and H2O. If greenhouse gases are bad, then H2O is really worse than CO2 because molecule per molecule H2O is a stronger IR absorber than is CO2. In terms of the over all so the called radiometric greenhouse effect, the contribution of CO2 is totally insignificant compared to the contribution of H2O yet nothing is being done about H2O pollution. In the city where I live, the amount of H2O pollution becomes so great that the H2O condenses out as a liquid that falls to the ground. The city knows about this problem but they do in collect the liquid H2O in a network of pipes under the city and then dump the liquid greenhouse gas just outside the city limits. The pool of liquid greenhouse gas has become so large that it can be seen from space. Nothing is being done to allow H2O from this pool to evaporate back into the atmosphere. The EPA needs to step in and at least require that the city cover the pool of liquid greenhouse gas with plastic to stop it from evaporating back in to the atmosphere. In my city it should be illegal to possess any form of H2O or products containing H2O and or to allow it to evaporate into the atmosphere. We must all remember that the combustion of fossil fuels produces not only CO2 but H2O as well. The city is involved with supplying households and businesses with H2O. That has got to stop. Organisms that involve H2O and or CO2 should not be allowed to exist within the city limits. Maybe as President Joe could put in place a national ban on all hydrocarbon based organisms because they pollute.
First, it has to be proven that anthropogenic CO2 has an effect on the Climate. The >30% reduction in CO2 when our economy stopped in Mar-Apr 2020 didn’t even register on the Mauna Loa CO2 charts. So is it anthropogenic CO2 or the warming oceans?
Next, that the models that forecast that CO2 will cause this disaster have to be calibrated, and for forecasting, proven infallible. What if, after this cycle, we have 2-3 decades of a Solar Minimum? What if a major volcanic eruption happens? The IPCC models don’t consider these because they can’t be known, but most solar and earth scientists I know think they could happen.
The worst outcome predicted by the models is also the least likely. The middle of the road outcomes never make the news.
For Biden to consider a legal action, he has to present evidence of damage. Future damage that may or may not occur – because it’s in the future – is not actionable.
Interesting this is very similar to what Maduro did in Venezuela by essentially getting rid of oil executives and putting his socialist friends and family in control. This essentially destroyed their oil business that eliminated a major part of the Country sending it into poverty.
Ironic, Am I the only one to note that Biden’s son was corruptly involved with the fossil fuel business in fact part owner in Ukraine and Joe was getting kickbacks. Was it fine then to emit CO2 and allegedly cause the earth to come to an end?
Of course we know that criminalizing legitimate has long been a tool of leftist to totally take over and ruin an economy when his family were profiting?
He is lying by following the tax code and calling tax investment breaks subsidies.
There are little of no subsidies for big oil companies.
Its and old Democratic trick to fool the lame minded. Another example, Clinton reduced the royalties paid to the government for offshore drilling when oil was cheap and our sources were heavily overseas. This has erroneously been called a subsidy by Democrats for years.
I am sure there are more examples.
Security system is installed for various purposes in different buildings or apartments in the city. There are many types of security systems for ensuring the proper monitoring procedure.
