Joe Biden tried mightily to reverse course from a comment made at a rally in Ohio, in which he said he opposed clean-coal plants in America. He claimed in the debate that the rope-line comments were taken “out of context”, but he sounded categorical in his opposition to new coal plants of any kind in the US, as this video demonstrates.
“We’re not supporting clean coal.”
“No coal plants here in America. Build them if they’re going to build them over there. Make them clean.”
Those are very definitive statements, not taken at all out of context. Biden was talking about exporting the technology to China, but also opposed very clearly the use of that technology in the US. In other words, Biden wants to help China create jobs in energy, but keep Americans from finding work in that same sector.
Those are his words. He may want to disavow that now, but that was what he said on that rope line in Ohio.
