CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- An off-the-cuff interview with Democratic nominee for Vice President Joe Biden posted on YouTube reveals that Biden apparently doesn't want coal plants in the United States.

The video appears to have been shot in Ohio while Biden was campaigning.

"No coal plants here in America," said Biden to a woman asking questions about clean coal.

Biden says China is building two dirty coal plants every week, which is polluting the U.S. and causing people to die.

"Guess what, China is going to burn 300 years of bad coal unless we can figure out how to clean their coal up, because it's going to ruin your lungs," said Biden. "There's nothing we can do about it."

Representative Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) says Biden's talking about jobs in the Mountain State.

"It was a very unscripted moment as many we find in this YouTube generation, but this is where you're speaking the truth and your true feelings come out," said Capito. "He was very adamant in his opinion that no clean coal, no coal plants here in America. To me that's Americans jobs and West Virginia jobs."

"We know there are issues with coal that need to be addressed, but we also know in order to reach energy independence coal has to be part of this," she said.

Tom Vogel, the Obama campaign spokesperson in West Virginia, said Biden is actually saying he is in favor of clean coal technology despite Biden's words that "we are not supporting clean coal."

"Some people might say they (Obama and Biden) are on two different pages here," Tom Vogel said. "No. If you read into what he is saying- he is talking about clean coal technology and the fact that we do have to make that investment before we proceed,"

The following is the verbatim conversation between Biden and the woman in the crowd.

Woman: "Wind and solar are flourishing here in Ohio, so why are you supporting clean coal?"
Biden: "We are not supporting clean coal. Guess what? China is building two every week. Two dirty coal plants and it's polluting the United States. It's causing people to die."
Woman: "So will you support wind and solar (rest inaudible)...
Biden: "Absolutely before anybody did. The first guy to introduce a global warming bill was me twenty two years ago. The first guy to support solar energy was me 26 years ago. It came out of Delaware. But guess what? China is gonna burn 300 years of bad coal unless we figure out how to clean their coal up because it's gonna ruin your lungs. And there's nothing we can do about it. No coal plants here in America. Build 'em if they're gonna build 'em over there. Make 'em clean because they're killing you. See ya. Thank you."
