Joe Biden: ‘This Crisis Is a Stark Reminder’ that We Need ‘the Transition to Clean Energy’

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: "Second, this crisis is a stark reminder to protect our economy over the long-term, we need to become energy independent. I’ve had numerous conversations over the last months with European friends how they have to wean themselves off of Russian oil. It’s just not -- it's just not tenable. It should motivate us to accelerate the transition of clean energy. This is a perspective that’s our European allies share and in the future, where together we can achieve greater independence. Loosening environmental regulations and pulling back clean energy investment won’t, will not lower energy prices for families. But transforming our economy to run on electric vehicles powered by clean energy with tax credits to help American families winterize their homes and use less energy, that will, that will help.”
