I believe Kamala Harris.
She told a CNN town hall in 2019, “There’s no question: I’m in favor of banning fracking.”
But she said in her Sept. 10 ABC News debate against former President Donald Trump: “I will not ban fracking.”
That second comment might be the only campaign promise she ever keeps.
How could these statements both be true?
Harris 1.0 can do as planned while Harris 2.0 keeps her word.
If voters buy her act, a President Kamala Harris could cripple fracking, if not stop it altogether, as she pledged in 2019. And she can do so without banning fracking, as she promised at the debate.
Kamala could leave America’s oil and gas industry perfectly free to submit Applications for Permits to Drill. But these permit applications could stretch from 30 to 100 pages now to, say, 300 pages under Harris-Walz.
Kamala…
