Fine with me. Let Trump spend the next 2 weeks talking about how Biden wants to lower carbon emissions and phase out our beloved oil industry. The election can be a referendum on whether the country believes climate change is real.

Then you'd think a Tesla would be the most sold vehicle in the US, rather than Ford trucks
The market certainly thinks Tesla is going to be eating into a big chunk of Ford's market share over the next 10 years.

Yea, watching one clip after another of Biden saying he'll ban fracking.
Each time, no caveat of on federal grounds.
I'm guessing there's one out there that Joe is pointing to and dishonestly attributing his position to it.
But overall, he consistently said he was against fracking before he decided he wasn't against banning it to try and win Pennsylvania.

I haven't watched, but I'm told the moderator only allowed 30 seconds of discussion regarding Hunter.
I'd have to rewatch. In a certain context that could be true. But it was maybe but a eight to twelve minute window overall, the China/Russia stuff; but it was enough. I think Trump could've done a better job of making the case that the Bidens were running a mob-style family business to enrich themselves while compromising hard-working Americans' welfare.

I don't understand this mentality of what's "necessary" or not. It's like you're scared that Joe Biden might take a position that deviates too much from the bland centrist establishment. Should he only propose raising the minimum wage from $7.25 to $7.50 since anything else is "unnecessary"?

Only four countries (US is one, go figure) have more wind power than Texas ( way ahead in US). Abbott has actually done a good job with this but probably won’t tout it because it’s too clean. The stuff we now have under construction will put Texas way out ahead. And the red team is doing a good jog of gridding it all up, but you won’t hear about it.

So I watched the clip of the whole exchange and I have decided it’s not a big deal at all.
He said he would transition from it rather than what is been circulated around conservative Twitter that he wants to magically stop it. I think Trump talking over him while he was saying it and then making something out of it took from what Biden was actually saying.
He even said “He always takes things out of context.” So you and Will Hunting are both wrong.
His campaign is not really backtracking from this point. Give it a second, close watch and see.

He’s going to get over 90 to 94% of them. This is like saying Trump’s in trouble with his maga base. They’re not more going to vote for Biden in the high percentile than blacks are for Trump.

It matters to some people. I get WH saying people won’t be swayed or bothered by the statement, but that’s accurate in only so many places. In Texas, what does a millenial working for Hunt Petroleum or TransCanada think of Biden? Large swaths of people aren’t going to like what Biden said, and even if most of those people weren’t voting Biden, why say it? To galvanize people in NY and California? When Texas could be in play? Seems like a really stupid maneouver to me

How you view the oil industry comments depends greatly on whether you, your livelihood, and your pocket are directly affected by the oil industry. The idea of transitioning to a cleaner renewable energy has been around since the hippies. It’s gained bigger traction over the last couple decades really because of how clearly fucked up the environment is. Maybe not universally, but most people at least acknowledge that the transition towards cleaner renewable energy and away from fossil fuels is a necessary inevitability and not some unrealistic ideal.
The reason for him saying it is because it’s a candid, honest response to the question. It’s reality. That it might offend some and solidify some votes against him in a certain voting block that were likely voting against him anyway is collateral damage that’s real but likely not as impactful as some may think or suggest. It definitely hurts him in Texas. And whether he had a real shot at Texas anyway, I don’t know. But big picture map, it probably doesn’t significantly change anywhere else, not even Pennsylvania.

Pretty much. Trump was unable to talk to people outside his own base, but didn't act like a complete ass this time.
He didn't lose, but he didn't really win either, and he needed to.
Not one single policy proposal all night. I tuned out the last 20 minutes or so, but I doubt he suddenly grew a policy repertoire.
Biden could have done a LOT better. Made me wish Buttigieg was there, Pete would have chopped hapless Trump into teeny peices.

New Research Shows Fracking and Petrochemicals Create Fewer Pennsylvania Jobs than Clean Energy
While early backers of the $6 billion project predicted it would create between 10,000 and 20,000 jobs,
the facility will only employ 600 workers.
Factoring in the massive $1.6 billion tax break granted to the company — the largest in Pennsylvania history– means
the state is essentially paying $2.75 million to create each job at the plant.
The Food & Water Watch research (https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/insight/cracked-case-green-jobs-over-petrochemicals-pennsylvania) estimates that a similar level of investment in wind and solar manufacturing would create over 16,000 jobs.
https://yubanet.com/enviro/new-research-shows-fracking-and-petrochemicals-create-fewer-pennsylvania-jobs-than-clean-energy/
Before the pandemic and Trash's job-killing tariff on panels, solar employed 100Ks more than dying coal.

CNN post op poll was about 50% Biden and 39% Trump or so. For Trump, factoring in CNN involved, that is a relative win but he needed Biden to make a mistake and he did not make an obvious one but the oil comment could hurt a little. Election will likely be close in battlegrounds, but Biden likely wins without a court battle but we will see.

imo, some of the better analyses:
Biden wasn't crushed, held his own, "was all that he needed to do" (as long-time polling leader for 18 months)
Trash LIED, LIED, LIED, which is his main skill and attraction to his minority base, beyond which he has no appeal and is LOSER

Well put. Biden very likely had internal data showing that he wasn't winning Texas and/or has PA in the bag, so there's no real downside to the comments. Obviously, we're not privy to that info.

I thought the debate was pretty much a draw which means Biden won. All he had to do was look like he didn't have dementia. It would have been a landslide win if he hadn't said he was getting rid of carbon fuels completely. Of course, he backtracked later.
