At least Biden got one thing right.
From a Rolling Stone article on Biden:
“If we had a different Congress, I think you’d see a more aggressive emissions legislation,” the vice president said.
Biden told Brinkley there’s nothing in the works regarding a carbon tax, “because we know it will go nowhere,” but that the administration is actively partnering with other nations to curb emission. He said sweeping shifts from coal-fired energy plants to clean gas burners could cut emission and eventually replace oil-burning engines.
Joe Biden is one of the Senators that voted Yes for Senate Resolution 98 that effectively killed US participation in the Kyoto Protocol.
The vote was unanimous, not a single Democrat or Republican voted against.
