“jobs that might be sacrificed”

Rapid Response

You may lose your job because of Joe Biden’s anti-American energy policies, but that’s a sacrifice Biden is willing to make.

Today, Biden’s Energy Secretary nominee Jennifer Granholm conceded that there are “jobs that might be sacrificed” because of Biden’s climate policies, a sacrifice Biden’s Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry later dismissed saying, it’s “what needs to be done.”

 Indeed, Joe Biden’s moratorium on new oil and natural gas on federal land could threaten up to 1 million jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties to state governments needed to fund public services if continued.

In the words of New Mexico Democratic Rep. Xochitl Torres Small, “If we shut down oil and gas drilling in New Mexico today, we’d have to shut down our schools tomorrow.”

Unfortunately, this is just the latest of Biden’s policies that have already cost hundreds their jobs and denied the creation of thousands more, as Biden continues putting his far-left climate agenda first and American workers last.
