Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden speaks at final presidential debate on Thursday in Nashville, Tenn.

Joe Biden said during Thursday’s debate that he would transition away from the oil industry in an effort to curb pollution — a statement that led President Donald Trump to raise his eyebrows in surprise.

“Oh. There's a big statement,” Trump said.

Biden has called climate change an existential threat to the country and said he would prioritize renewable sources of energy, such as solar and wind. Biden emphasized that the transition would be gradual, but said he wanted to move to net-zero emissions in energy production by 2035.

Trump retorted that Biden was antagonizing the oil industry, which forms crucial parts of the economies of several red states.

“Will you remember that, Texas? Will you remember that, Pennsylvania? Will you remember that, Oklahoma?” Trump said.

During the debate, Biden emphasized support for his energy plan among labor groups for creating new jobs in the clean-energy sector.
