Perfect Environmental Score
The Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund, a national conservation group, awarded U.S. Senator Joseph R. Biden, Jr. a lifetime score of 100% on their Conservation Report Card for 2005.
Biden earned the perfect rating based on his environmental voting record for 2005, when he cast several votes against drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), along with other votes to reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil, outlaw destructive logging practices, and protect the American coastline.
