At Sunday night’s Democrat debate, Joe Biden was apparently trying to out-Bernie his opponent for the nomination by making a promise:
Joe Biden on what he wants on energy policy: “no ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period, ends”

That kind of approach worked out so well for Hillary Clinton!
This is not just
