Gail Collins argues that while fracking can reduce energy costs, it poses significant environmental risks and contributes to global warming, emphasizing a shift towards electric cars instead.
Bret Stephens counters by highlighting the environmental and ethical concerns around electric cars, noting the mining impacts of their battery materials and the current reliance on hydrocarbons for energy.
Stephens also defends Harris's change of stance on fracking by stating that increased U.S. natural gas production has reduced dependence on coal and foreign oil, improving overall energy independence.
Collins expresses optimism about future energy solutions, suggesting a better version beyond current fracking practices, while Stephens wishes for a more robust argument supporting Harris's current position.
