Well we’ve covered Barack Obama’s views on the environment, we’ve covered John McCain’s and we’ve even taken a look at Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s views on the subject. Now we’ll see what the Democratic vice presidential nominee and the least popular figure of this whole race, Joe Biden has to say.
First of all, according to the Humane Society, he scored an 80% on their scorecard when it comes to animal protection. He voted yes for mercury regulations on smokestacks (and has said publicly that the EPA needs to do a better job cleaning up existing mercury deposits), and no on funding for additional forest roads. Joe Biden has also voted yes on California desert protection and EPA risk assessments, as well. He is working to end commercial whaling and illegal trading of whale meat, and he is for stronger penalties for the humans involved in animal fighting.
Overall, he is a good match for Barack Obama – just as you would expect. And even though the Democrats appear to be holding a sizeable lead over their Republican counterparts, it’s still anybody’s race – and with less than a month left until the election, we’re not going to have to wait very long to find out who is going to come out on top.
