I love alternative energy AND oil, Biden meant to say

It just shows the state of the argument in the US about alternative energy and saving the planet from horrendous climate change that Joe Biden's slip-up when he said he wanted to get rid of the oil industry has become a huge political hot potato and Biden could now lose in the big oil states, Texas, Arizona etc. Instead of sticking to his guns and being brave about the need to swap oil and coal for wind, sun and all the other alternative stuff, Biden frantically tried to put across a different message. All he meant was that government subsidies for the oil industry would be ended under his administration. But, sorry, Joe, that's not what you said in the Nashville debate. And by the way, all the desperate clarifications don't help one jot. You said it and you probably meant it. But that is the trouble with the whole climate-change issue. The only people who are really totally committed to doing something about it are not in government. Even if Biden wins next month you watch and see how committed he will be to change the whole US industrial base in order to force through alternative energy for all. Trump said he wouldn't do it because it would destroy America, and Biden, even though he has a big climate-change plan, will never get it past the Texas boys in boots and thus Congress. There are always compromises, none of which will benefit mankind. Which is why Biden was so anxious to tell reporters what he really meant to say in the debate. That's always a sign of political weakness, and I'm sure a lot of people, not just the oil barons, will have spotted it and think to themselves, "hey what else did he say that needs clarification?" It's all rather sad. Being brave in politics is far too dangerous. Biden has been low profile and non-controversial up till now and then he mentioned oil. Oops oops.
