During the Vietnam War, a general was paraphrased saying he had “to destroy the village to save it.” This phrase may be the motivation behind President Joe Biden and the Left, who want to eliminate fossil fuel use in America.

Now, Biden’s stated goal is to eliminate carbon dioxide emissions from the power sector by 2035 and the entire U.S. economy by 2050. Recently, the Democratic chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee introduced a bill to codify these goals and added a mandate for an 80% reduction in carbon emissions in the power sector by 2030.
