The Argument

Biden supports a carbon tax, and doesn't think a federal push to ban fracking is realistic. Trump's administration has completed 58 environmental policy roll backs, per the NYT, including lowering regulation requirements of major industrial polluters via the Clean Air Act and loosening offshore drilling safety regulations implemented after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
