Debate Analysis: Biden's Energy Policies

N
NTD Videos
As seen in last night's debate, Trump and Biden do not agree on environmental policies. In particular, Biden's comments on energy policy have gained some attention. We spoke to H. Sterling Burnett, a senior fellow in environmental policy at the Heartland Institute for his take on the topics discussed last night. (Oct. 22) First, he commented on Biden's push to to get to "zero emissions by 2025." Emissions can come from a variety of sources ranging from power plants, automobiles, to even cows and people. Net-zero emission means using technology to balancing out emissions so the net waste adds to zero. Zero emission, on the other hand, means producing zero waste, which Burnett says is impossible. After the debate, Biden said his plan was to stop subsidizing fossil fuels and to create more jobs in renewable energy. Burnett commented these new jobs wouldn't be the most "economic use of people's lives."
