Joe Biden flip flops… now he says he won’t ban fracking. Maybe he and Kamala should get together. One might think national energy policy would be a topic on which they might want alignment. It is only responsible for what? About 3,000,000 jobs.
Joe says yes and Kamala says no. Joe used to say no too… Somebody isn’t staying on script. So, is Joe lying now or was he lying then?
The problem for Pennsylvanians with Joe Biden is very straightforward. It is also important to their economy. Which should face of Joe should they believe? Should they believe what he says to their faces or what he says behind their backs? Is trust important in a presidential election?
Monday at a campaign stop in Pittsburgh, Joe Biden said, “I am not banning fracking.” But then again…
Here’s what he says when he’s not in Pennsylvania.
At a July 2019 Democratic presidential debate, CNN’s Dana Bash asked Biden, “Would there be any place for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking in a Biden administration?” He responded, “No, we would work it out. We would make sure it’s eliminated.”
At a September 2019 campaign event, Biden told voter to “look at my eyes… I guarantee you, I guarantee you we’re going to end fossil fuels.” Frack natural gas is, of course, a fossil fuel.
In a February 2020 campaign appearance, Biden said it three times. He is going to “get rid of” or “phase out” fossil fuels. And, of course, the jobs that go with them. Joe Biden flip flops… So will he or won’t he ban fracking?
But there’s much more than just Biden’s latest or even past statements. His running mate has also been public, and emphatic, about her opposition to fracking. What if Biden had to step down or, for whatever reason, would be unable to serve out his term? Ms. Harris would fulfill the fracking ban and throw thousands of Pennsylvanians out of work.
