The former vice president was given a D-minus by Greenpeace. Gov. Jay Inslee and Sen. Bernie Sanders reigned at the top of the list.
Joe Biden may be one of the Democratic front-runners in the 2020 presidential election, but he’s a near failure on one list rating environmentally strong candidates.
His score earned him a D-minus and placed him just ahead of former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, who also earned a D-minus. Following behind with F ratings are former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld and President Donald Trump. The rankings considered the candidates’ proposed environmental plans, past legislative actions, statements, their financial support from fossil fuel companies, and their stances on fossil fuel usage and the Green New Deal.
Biden, who entered the presidential race on April 25, has yet to release a plan on how he would tackle climate change, though he said he would have one out by the end of May.
