Vice President Kamala Harris was adamant that she has not banned fracking, stating, "I have not banned fracking as vice president of the United States, and in fact, I was the tie-breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act, which opened new leases for fracking." She emphasized the need for diverse energy sources to reduce reliance on foreign oil, showcasing a balancing act in her energy policy that acknowledges both fossil fuels and clean energy investment.
Harris's rebuttal to Trump came with a light touch on climate legislation, as she reinforced her position on energy production: "We have had the largest increase in domestic oil production in history because of an approach that recognizes that we cannot overrely on foreign oil." Her defense hinted at a complex relationship with climate policy: navigating the demands of Pennsylvania's gas industry while appealing to wider environmental concerns.
