Presidential candidate and former San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro said he wants hydraulic fracturing to be phased out as part of climate plan that calls for the United States to get all its power from renewables by 2035.
The Democratic Party presidential hopeful made the remarks during a Thursday evening event hosted by the San Antonio Association of Hispanic Journalists in San Antonio.
Party nomination rivals Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris are calling for a nationwide ban on hydraulic fracturing, an oil & gas industry practice known as "fracking" that when paired with horizontal drilling, uses water, sand and chemicals to fracture shale geological formations.

Any one of which (including open borders and more rampant illegal immigration) would bankrupt and collapse the American economy.
Let's not let them. :patriot:
