First, she wanted to ban fracking. Then, she gaslighted Americans and said she’s been “clear” that she won’t ban fracking. Now, the Kamala campaign is saying there won’t be an “expansion” of fracking.
According to the Kamala Harris campaign, candidate Harris does not support expanding fossil fuel drilling; “Just to be clear, Vice President Harris hasn’t said anything that the administration hasn’t already said. She is not promoting expansion [of fossil fuel drilling]. She’s just said that they wouldn’t ban fracking,” Camila Thorndike, Harris’ climate engagement director, said in an interview with Politico.
Kamala’s campaign has struggled with messaging around fracking — and it’s an important issue in swing states like Pennsylvania. Back in 2019, Harris said she would ban fracking.

Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders recently told CNN’s Jake Tapper that Kamala is flip-flopping on issues in order to get elected.
TAPPER: Kamala supported the Green New Deal, Medicare For All, and a ban on fracking. Is she making a mistake reversing those positions?
BERNIE: She’s trying to beat Donald Trump.

“We have had the largest increase in domestic oil production in history because of an approach that recognizes that we cannot over-rely on foreign oil,” Harris said during the debate with former President Trump in Pennsylvania kast month.
“I am proud that as vice president over the last four years, we have invested a trillion dollars in a clean energy economy while we have also increased domestic gas production to historic levels,” Harris said.
From Fox News:
Democratic vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz has struck a similar tone, arguing during a recent interview with WGAL 8 that the U.S. is “producing more natural gas and more oil than at any time in our history.”
But some critics have slammed the campaign’s recent production talking point, arguing that the energy industry was able to achieve record numbers despite Biden administration policies, not because of them.
“In just four years, you and POTUS created the single worst regulatory and legislative environment in our industry’s 160-year history. You’ve put into place 250 separate actions designed to put us out of business. You wanted to put our CEOs in jail, confiscate our capital and prevent our investors from getting any return,” the U.S. Oil and Gas Association (OGA) said in a post on X last week. “And in spite of all that – we worked around you, over you and have beat your team. Now you want to take credit for what we did in spite of you. Not gonna let it happen.”
