Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden clarified his stance on fossil fuels a day after he seemed to indicate during the presidential debate that he would phase out the use of coal and the drilling technique known as fracking if elected.
Asked at the debate whether fossil fuels, including coal, and fracking would have a place in his administration, Biden said: “No. We would -- we would work it out. We would make sure it’s eliminated and no more subsidies for either one of those, either -- any fossil fuel.”
