Second GOP presidential debate: on Energy & Oil

Doug Burgum: Biden's climate policy is existential threat to America

And at the core of all that is energy policy, because China imports 10 million barrels of oil a day. They're the largest import in the world. And we have had four Cabinet members from the Biden administration there this summer, and none of them talked about U.S. energy.

The first one to go to each of those countries was [Climate Envoy John] Kerry to talk about the folly of the climate policy, which is making the world less stable. It's empowering dictators. It's not about climate change that we need to be worried about. It's about the Biden climate policies that are actually the existential threat to America's future.

Tim Scott: Unleash our energy resources; no gas tax increase

Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC): He's increased the national debt. He voted for the spending for 12 years.

SCOTT: You actually asked for a gas tax increase in South Carolina. I voted no.

Donald Trump: No electric vehicles: economic nationalism for auto industry

"My pledge to everyone is that a vote for President Trump means the future of the automobile will be made in America," said Trump. "It will be fueled by American energy, sourced by American suppliers, it will be sculpted from American aluminum and steel, and it will be built by highly skilled American hands and high-wage, American labor."

Joe Biden: Support electric vehicles AND union auto industry jobs

In response to Trump's speech, Biden's campaign spokesman said, "Donald Trump is lying about President Biden's agenda to distract from his failed track record of trickle-down tax cuts, closed factories, and jobs outsourced to China. There is no 'EV mandate.' Simply put: Trump had the United States losing the EV race to China and if he had his way, the jobs of the future would be going to China."
