God Bless Joe Biden!

"No-coal-plants-here-in-America". Con sei, innocue parole, Biden rischia di far perdere al suo ticket 21 electoral votes, quelli della Pennsylvania. Joe è una mitragliatrice di gaffe, questo lo sapevamo tutti, ma la sua ultima uscita è davvero colossale. Il perché ce lo spiega Jim Gerathy su Campaign Spot (via PolitickerPA):

1) Most anthracite coal is found in Pennsylvania.
2) Pennsylvania has 29 billion tons of coal reserves, or 6.1% of the country's reserves.
3) The combined direct and indirect contributions of the coal industry to Pennsylvania's economy are more than $10 billion.
4) Using more than 57 million tons, Pennsylvania ranks fourth in coal use.
5) Pennsylvania employs more than 9,300 miners.
6) Pennsylvania distributes more than 75 million tons of coal each year.
7) Pennsylvania has 82 underground mines and 225 surface mines.
8) About 58% of the electricity used in Pennsylvania is produced by coal.
9) Pennsylvania produces about 7% of the country's coal supply.
10) Pennsylvania has 23 coal-fired power plants.

E Jay Cost, su RealClear Politics, aggiunge qualche dettaglio (anche geografico) e ci regala il video che vedete qui sopra. Se Biden non ci fosse, Schmidt lo avrebbe già inventato.
