Joe Biden: There Will Be No Off-Shore Drilling Once I Become President

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: "You're absolutely right. The President was — made it clear he was going to lift the moratorium on off-shore drilling. Most people only focused on the — not only, but focused on the environmental impact of that happening, what that would mean, especially since when we don't need more fossil fuel. What we need is more renewable energy. But I strongly support, I can guarantee you, if I'm president, there will be no off-shore drilling, and I'll extend the moratorium. I think it should be basically a permanent moratorium. But particularly as it relates to — and it frightens people when I talk about the testing area. They say 'well, I didn't know that. I didn't know they're out there testing, they're really shooting live ammo and things' — yeah, you have to find some place to do it.”
