Joe doesn’t even know what planet he’s on

Environmentalists sold out to the WEF

Joe got it right but now the pipeline and border barrier need to be built.

They're starting to cannibalize themselves 🤣🤣🤣

What did you Commies expect?

Don't trust the politicians.

Nuclear fallout would be pretty bad for the environment. Maybe stop antagonizing other nuclear armed nations?

He's been worrying about it all day

We’ll need oil and natural gas for a long time.

'Old man yells at sky'

I'm disappointed by that as well. We don't need to further climate change with the emissions that will come from these wells. It's more than disappointing. It's dangerous and sickening.

President Biden's decision to allow the Willow oil drilling project in Alaska is necessary to balance the need for energy independence and economic growth with environmental concerns. The United States is still heavily dependent on oil, and reducing that dependency will take time

lol, environmentalists were infuriated? wow, they must be lowest educated group of society. Anyone knows & understands that all politicians are pathological liars. They will lie even if their lives dependent on it. You can't change them.

We all need to understand the need to 'transition' from fossil fuels to renewables instead of strickly going full bore into renewables. By helping stabilize the domestic markets, renewables, which are not affordable to all, can get there. Transitioning is the key.

hell yeah brother biden who cares about the planet

It’s almost like he’s continuing all of trumps policies

Biden doesn't care about the climate. He cares about votes. And we should drill. Everyone else is and we do it cleaner than anyone.

Oil isn’t going away anytime soon… This is a fundamental fact. Biden must be doing something right if both the left and right are at odds with him…

You have to have some exploration and production within or you become 100 % reliant on imports.. which would decimate the economy.

We need energy for humanity to flourish. Wind and solar are horrible for the planet.

People - especially journalists- need to really stop conflating environmentalism with climate change policy. They CAN be complementary. They aren’t always.
