President Joe Biden’s climate advisor Gina McCarthy expressed excitement this week that “fossil fuel’s losing jobs” amidst the economic turmoil and inflation engulfing the Biden administration.
“We have opportunities now to transfer to clean energy in a way that grows thousands of jobs,” McCarthy said at the Aspen Ideas Festival. “We now, we just had a report that was put out that’s showing all of the energy and employment stats from last year.”
“Clean energy is winning, fossil fuel’s losing jobs,” McCarthy continued. “We are gaining every step of the way.”

Many social media users criticized McCarthy’s remarks as tone deaf during the current inflation bubble.
President Biden asked incredulously last Wednesday if there were Republicans who would “rather have lower gas prices” domestically than create massive inflation by sending taxpayer dollars to Ukraine and causing international tension with Russia.
“For all Republicans criticizing me for high gas prices in America, are you now saying we were wrong to support Ukraine and stand up to Putin?” Biden asked. “Are you saying that we’d rather have lower gas prices in America than Putin’s iron fist in Europe? I don’t believe that.”
The answer to Biden’s question may lie in his plummeting approval ratings, which have been performing terribly ever since inflation spiked to record levels under his administration.
Biden has also stated that “Well, we’ll get through at least this year. We do need more money. But we don’t just need more money for vaccines for children, eventually. We need more money to plan for the second pandemic.”
“There’s going to be another pandemic,” Biden continued. “We have to think ahead, and that’s not something the last outfit did very well. That’s something we’ve been doing fairly well, that’s why we need the money.”
