    I personally loathed Harris’ stance on fracking, because we need to actively decrease fossil fuel reliance… however, she was talking about unimpeded continued production - not ramping up production.

      There’s another difference. Fracking produces more gas. Gas can be sold, while crude oil is useless in USA.

      The oil that USA produces is exported to be refined and then re-imported as gasoline and whatever. (There are hundreds of biproducts from the process).

      While I discourage both, at least gas would make financial sense for USA.

      Production of crude oil only serves to dump the oil price. Which also happened last time Dumbass Trump was president, where the price went negative. Of course the industry is not interested. Besides… Texas already learned that solar power is very plentiful and cheap.

      Remember Convicted Criminal Donald Fuckface Trump in 2016 using coal the same way? Save the coal mines, small town coal miners bla.bla… All that bullshit?

      Did you dig any coal since then? Did you buy any coal? Did you burn any coal?

      You know what. I hope Good Ol’ Donald Shit Diaper Trump saves the oil industry in exactly the same way that he saved he coal industry.

      You say tomato I say environmental collapse. Don’t make excuses for people who can’t take an actual stand on a topic. She tried to split the difference to appeal to both sides and both sides told her that wasn’t good enough. Good fucking plan eh?
