2016 Redux: Democrats Promise To Kill Coal Industry In 2020 CNN Debate
Former vice president Joe Biden and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee agreed to eliminate the coal industry as soon as possible during the Democratic Primary debates in Detroit Wednesday.
Biden was asked by CNN host Dana Bash if there would there be any place for fossil fuels including coal and fracking in a Biden administration.

Inslee immediately interrupted Biden, making it clear that he felt Biden’s timeline to eliminate the coal industry was too short.
“We cannot work this out,” Inslee said. “The time is up. Our house is on fire.”
“We have to stop using coal in 10 years and we need the president to do it or it won’t get done,” he continued, as Biden looked on, nodding.
