But despite wanting to keep fossil fuels in the ground, Biden can’t seem to stop using them in the air via private jets. Below is a video of Biden in August 2020 going from an SUV to a private jet.

Joe Biden: Throw Fossil Fuel Execs In Jail (Is He Trying To Get Hunter Prison Friends?)
by Joe Newby And Jeff Dunetz | Dec 30, 2019
While speaking at a campaign stop in Peterborough, New Hampshire over the weekend, Democrat White House hopeful Joe Biden suggested throwing fossil fuel executives in jail if they don’t accept responsibility for allegedly destroying the environment. Perhaps he’s saying that in case there is an investigation of Burisma and his son Hunter will need friends in prison. fossil fuel execs jail
A post at Townhall noted:
In order to curb the rate of pollution, Biden explained, we need to hold fossil fuel executives “liable for what they have done, particularly in those cases where there are underserved neighborhoods.”
When they don’t deliver, Biden offered, “put them in jail.”
Some spectators noted his obliviousness. Surely he didn’t forget that his son Hunter was on the board of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian gas company that was being investigated for corruption? I mean, it has been in the news lately.
