Good, shift the focus to clean renewables. Retrain, retool and stimulate the economy in a new direction.
Big Oil is run amuck for too long.

Good. The last thing we want to do is preserve buggy-making jobs when the auto industry has so many more jobs. There are lots of things going on that are really reducing the need for jobs. As far as I can tell clean energy isn't one of those things.

jobs were what flipped blue states red and got Trump elected, may happen again if Biden keeps talking
Exactly. But many people don't seem to realise this. When you mess with people's ability to earn a living, keep a roof over their head, feed and clothe themselves and their dependants, they will react strongly, and will not forget for a very long time. It's OK to decommission parts of the economy and jobs market, but whoever does that had better be sure they have new jobs for all those people.

That’s great news! Why would we prop up an industry that no longer serves us? Let’s move those workers into the clean energy industries.
How does it no longer serve us? I have yet to see solar powered airplanes or ships, or trains.

It no longer serves us because the burning of fossil fuels is destroying the planet. And yes, electric planes and trains exist. Probably boats too. Solar is just one of many types of renewable energy and the ability to store renewable energy is developing.

The fossil fuel industries are now investing in renewable energy. They know where things are headed. Why would we continue to use outdated technology that causes ugly pollution and harm to our planet when we have other options?

those electric airplanes and ships are going to require some real long extension cords. Maybe we could go back to sailing ships to carry cargo around the world as long as time is not a consideration. Regarding the pollution, we are far from being the major cause.

Biden's position on this issue (and others) will hand TRUMP another 4 Years.

Thanks to BLM and Biden for helping to elect Trump again.

Trump could not run ads on TV any better than the Chaos we see BLM (and others) are creating in out cities streets.

Since you enjoy such amusement from factual information.... here, have a laugh:

"The recently published Department of Energy 2017 U.S. Energy and Employment Report shows that clean electricity jobs are no doubt the engine that drives America’s electric energy economy, outstripping the number of paychecks provided by the fossil fuel industry by at least five to one...."

U.S. Clean Energy Jobs Surpass Fossil Fuel Employment

Dude- ever heard of a battery? If you aren’t aware of the technology that already exists how can you discuss this stuff?

There you go.

The largest electric plane ever to fly

Battery technology is not yet advanced enough for heavy freight and things like ships and planes.

Which is why hydrogen fuel cells actually have a meaning for now.

Fossil fuels will be with us for a while yet but clearly it is old technology that is harmful to our planet in many ways.

Why some people have a need to defend it and cite some great economic booms of the past is beyond me.

It had it’s time. Now it is in decline and there will be no comeback. Just like with coal.

Also things like combustion engine are already really refined technology. Any development will be costly and probably produce way less cost benefit compared to newer technologies which are yet to be perfected.

It is smarter to invest in future. Do you think leaving coal shovelers jobless was in anyone’s mind when a better alternatives came available ? or coal miners ?

Wow a modified Cessna. And it flew a whopping 30 min. That would get four people from Tulsa to Oklahoma City.

This is why the Green New Deal propaganda falls to pieces in real life.

There is nothing in the works that can possibly replace a 777. There is nothing in the works that could allow Electric trains across the US, there is nothing in the works that would replace convoys of trucks or ships that carry all our goods.

BTW. You electric vehicle is charged by an electric plant that uses fossil fuels.
