Kamala Harris Turns Back Against Fracking

Wendell Husebø 21 Oct 2024

A top climate Harris campaign aide appears to be walking back Vice President Kamala Harris’s unconditional support of fracking, a position she opposed in 2019 when she vowed to ban it.

The flip flop underscores claims made by critics that Harris is an empty political shell with intentions to do or say whatever is needed to get elected.

A near-majority (48 percent) of Americans believe Harris just says what she thinks people want to hear, while only 36 percent think she says what she believes, a recent Economist/YouGov poll found.

Camila Thorndike, Harris’s climate engagement director, told Politico last week that Harris no longer supports land leases for fracking. Harris touted the so-called Inflation Reduction Act that contained provisions to expand leases for fracking.

Harris cast the bill’s tie-breaking vote in the Senate. President Joe Biden later signed the bill.
“Just to be clear, Vice President Harris hasn’t said anything that the administration hasn’t already said,” Thorndike told Politico. “She is not promoting expansion [of fracking leases]. She’s just said that they wouldn’t ban fracking and the fact that anyone could look up is that the IRA required leases, and that was not something that she promoted.”

Fracking = American Energy Independence and Liberty

I hope none of the early voters in PA rely on the oil and gas industry for their living, either directly or indirectly, actually believed her when she said she wasn't going to ban fraccing.

Always take these people at their most extreme position ever stated.
Those are the actions they dream of taking, and their dreams just might come true, no matter how evil...

I’m not sure how you can turn back against something you never turned for.

She couldn't define fracking if her life depended on it.

LOL! My wife said exactly the same thing.

That's no surprise.

If you go by the mass media, I don't think one image in a hundred even correctly shows a frac in progress, or the equipment set up to do a frac.
Pump jacks, drilling rigs, workover rigs, and even flare stacks appear, but only very rarely a frac setup.

For that reason, I have little doubt that most of the people who say they are against fraccing couldn't pick one out of a photo lineup or generally describe what it is.

Or what is so dangerous about fraccing in the first place, not to mention what the benefits of doing it are.
