Yeah, and I think Texans might be more likely to consider Biden's whole answer... which was to the question of how you deal with communities and families living close to oil refineries and other large-scale industrial facilities. There are a lot of people in Texas who empathize with that side of the equation (and some people with both sides of the equation). Biden knocked his answer on that out of the park both with his knowledge of the issue and his empathy, while Trump could only mumble that if they lived near a refinery they probably had high-paying jobs. It's a much more complicated issue than the 'phase out oil' soundbite would suggest.
