STORYLINE:
Even as she promoted her efforts to boost clean energy, Vice President Kamala Harris said in Tuesday’s debate that the Biden-Harris administration has overseen “the largest increase in domestic oil production in history because of an approach that recognizes that we cannot over rely on foreign oil.″
The comment by Harris, a longtime climate hawk who backed the original Green New Deal, surprised supporters and opponents alike — and conflicted with frequent boasts by Harris and President Joe Biden that they are champions in the fight to slow global warming.
Mike Sommers, president and CEO of the American Petroleum Institute, the oil and gas industry’s top lobbying group, said Harris’ comment in support of fracking reflected political reality in the closely contested election. “You have to be for fracking to be elected president in 2024,’’ he said. “That’s good news for our industry and great news for American consumers.’’
Asked why he was so confident about the need to support fracking, Sommers offered a one-word answer: “Pennsylvania.”
Not only is it a key swing state in the election, Pennsylvania also “is the beating heart of the natural gas industry in this country,” Sommers said, second only to Texas in total production.
“You don’t win Pennsylvania without supporting fracking, and you don’t win the presidency without Pennsylvania,’’ Sommers said.
