“Trump picks big oil.”

“Where [Trump] reverses the Obama-Biden fuel efficiency standards, he picks Big Oil. He picks Big Oil companies over American workers, even when the automobile industry agreed. I don’t want to bring the standards back, I’ll set new ambitious ones that our workers are ready to meet. I also see American workers building and installing 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations along our newly engaged infrastructure programs and highways, all across the country. I see American consumers switching to electric vehicles through rebates and initiatives.

“Not only that, the U.S. owns and maintains an enormous fleet of vehicles. And we’re going to harness the purchasing power of our federal government to make sure we’re buying electric vehicles that are made and sourced by union workers right here in the United States of America. And together, this will mean more than a million new jobs in the American auto industry.” –Joe Biden
