Kamala Harris, the vice president, lied about her radical views on energy during Tuesday night’s conversation with former president Donald Trump.
When ABC’s moderators posed the unique, query about her plan reversals, Harris responded, “making that very clear in 2020: I did not ban fracking.”
” I have no banned fracking as evil president of the United States, and in fact, I was the tie-breaking voting on the’ Inflation Reduction ‘ Act, which opened new contracts for fracking”, she said.
Yet CNN’s native “fact-checker” called the vice president’s remark on fracking a lie, even if it was obtuse. ” Harris did not actually make clear in 2020 that *she* would n’t ban fracking as president”, wrote the network’s Daniel Dale on X. ” In the comments she’s citing, from her debate with Pence, she just repeated that *Joe Biden* would n’t ban fracking”.
Harris did make distinct in 2019, however, that” there’s no problem I’m in favor of banning fracking”. In reality, Harris went so far as to speak at the notorious 2019 Town Hall on CNN.
” Would you boycott abroad drilling”? the show’s Erin Burnett asked.
” Yes”, Harris said,” and I’ve again, worked on that”.
However, the Biden-Harris administration has taken every possible valve in the White House to avert the demise of fossil fuels. The Biden-Harris management issued fewer acre for cutting than any president since Harry Truman in its first two years, according to data from The Wall Street Journal, despite the vice president’s attempt to portray the current government as friendly to new oil and gas leases. The Washington Free Beacon also , reported , in June that the” Biden presidency has approved more than 1, 000 fewer petrol mandates in its first three decades than the Trump administration did in the same timeframe”.
Americans, however, saw days of record-breaking petrol prices under Biden’s tenure. Pricing peaked in 2022 with a global average , that exceeded ,$ 5 per gallon for regular unleaded gas. No matter how far the vice president runs from her previous record as a determined regulator-in-chief, an additional avalanche of regulations enacted by the administration of a Bay-Area communist who openly supported the Green New Deal as a senator did almost certainly increase gas prices.
