“I think of one word when I think of climate change: jobs. Good-paying jobs.”
Joe Biden speech in Queens, New York yesterday capitalizing on the hurricane damage to pass his climate change agenda.
Hold on. We’re confused. Is he talking about the tens of thousands of “good paying jobs” in the oil patch where American truckers, drillers, engineers, can make $100,000+ a year?
Is he talking about the high-paying pipeline union jobs he killed by vetoing the Keystone XL Pipeline? Joe: jobs in the fossil fuel sector pay far higher salaries than jobs installing solar panels on the roofs of homes. It’s true that wind turbines create a lot of jobs – but they are in China, where seven of the 10 top turbine manufacturers in the world are located.
