Oil is big business, but Joe is right. Oil pollutes. It is dirty and deadly. We need it to run society now, but it WILL kill us all one way or another. We do need to find a way to get off of fossil fuels and as soon as possible.

People won't realize until parts of Florida, Louisianna, Texas, and Califronia are under water. Then they will be like, "What happened? Who knew this would happen?" We will say, "Joe Biden knew, October 22, 2020. He said it".
