As if John Fetterman’s debate with Dr. Oz wasn’t enough of a campaign killer, Joe Biden announced today that he will be closing coal plants in favor of wind and solar power.
Let’s see how that goes over with Pennsylvania voters, especially considering that Fetterman claimed a while back he is against fracking, although he flip-flopped when asked about this in the debate. [bold, links added]
What happens if Pennsylvania loses coal and fracking? The state will be financially gutted. More importantly for now, how will Pennsylvania voters respond to Gropey Joe’s threats to close coal plants?
Joe Biden just said that he’s going to shut down coal plants all over America and replace them with wind and solar.
Retweet so every voter in Pennsylvania and Ohio will see this.

Pennsylvania is the second-largest producer of gas and the third-largest producer of coal in the nation.
There are roughly 18,000 people employed directly or indirectly in the coal business, people who may not want to be unemployed because of the Democrats’ war on coal, gas, and fossil fuels in general.
FACT-O-RAMA! Joe Biden killed the Keystone XL pipeline, costing thousands of jobs and 800,000 barrels of oil a day. Remember that on Election Day.
Some polls have Oz up just a little bit on Fetterman, who shot himself in the foot during the debate when he struggled to put two sentences together.
Ohio has a bevy of coal mines, too, most of which are located near the border Ohio shares with West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
Like Pennsylvania, Ohio has a grueling Senate race going as well, in which GOP candidate JD Vance is slugging it out with the Democrats’ Tim Ryan. Polls show Vance with a tiny edge but well within the margin of error.
RUMOR-O-RAMA! Obama once supposedly said, “Never underestimate Joe’s ability to f*** things up.” Obama, for once, was right.
Will coal employees help the GOP in this election? More entertainingly, will Biden’s handlers be able to shut him up for the next four days so that he can’t torpedo his own party?

Obama stated that he would bankrupt the coal companies. Why doesn’t Numbskull Joe say that he will bankrupt the country? The USA, like Europe has proven, cannot function on wind and solar alone.
Sadly with have another dim wit in the UK now.
I think they are on the pay of the Globalists !
There’s some unseen power behind this nonsense, there has to be. Energy poverty is dark ages stuff. What puzzles me is that none of them has come clean about what their end game is. A ride on some mother ship outta here? Unlimited virgins in heaven? Most of the high profile alarmists lack for nothing, so I don’t think it’s more money they’re after. If it was mere virtue signalling, charity is a better path. Could it be that socialism is going broke, and the only solution for liberals is to convince the masses that less is more?
Biden shows he is a Socialists a Democrat and a Traitor to America and most of all Biden is a Globalist just like Clinton(BIll)and Obama
Job losses are certainly an issue, but Biden is missing the CRITICAL point. Right now, coal (still) accounts for over 22% of our electricity generation, TWICE that of renewables. Our electric grid continues to de-stabilize due to the LACK of reserve capacity from dispatchable (thermal) generating sources. If you ban fracing, that cuts off the supply to an additional 37% of your current electricity generation. Do the math. Without coal & natural gas SIXTY percent of your electricity supply disappears. Doe that mak ANY sense? We are focused on the WRONG issue (here). Job loss is just an unpleasant “fall out.” You will be more than inconvenienced without reliable electrIcity. Ask anyone in the Thirld World…
Correction on my prior comment. Coal accounts for twice the generation of “wind & solar” as biomass, geothermal & hydroelectric are are ALL included in “renewables” statistics .If you are interested & to complete the math, nuclear makes up the remaining 20& of electricity generation.
