Trying the same thing over and over again, but expecting new results...
Washington Examiner (11/24/20) column: "Same plot, same actors, but some new marketing techniques. This is not the first time President-elect Joe Biden has advanced an anti-energy agenda under the guise of climate change. But the former vice president’s proposed 'Plan to Build a Modern, Sustainable Infrastructure and Equitable Clean Energy Future' envisions 'far-reaching investments' in green jobs that in many respects surpass the promises made when Biden was part of the Obama administration. 'We need millions of construction, skilled trades, and engineering workers to build a new American infrastructure and clean energy economy,' Biden says in his plan...'Biden is promising to repeat the Obama-Biden legacy of failed green jobs, but this time, he intends to spend more taxpayer money on what will be another failed enterprise,' said Tom Pyle, president of the Institute for Energy Research, a nonprofit organization in Washington, D.C., that favors free market policies in the energy sector. 'Biden plans to spend $2 trillion that could be better used to assist the economy in its recovery from the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown. He’s also proposing to pull fossil fuels out of the U.S. economy, where they supply 80% of the energy supply, which would be hugely disruptive to the jobs of millions who owe their livelihoods to the U.S.-produced energy.'"

"America will soon have a government that treats the climate crisis as the urgent national security threat it is. I'm proud to partner with the president-elect, our allies, and the young leaders of the climate movement to take on this crisis as the President's Climate Envoy."
– John Kerry,
America's International Climate Czar
