The US is, right now, producing more crude oil than any other nation in the history of the world. Harris repeatedly stated that she would not ban fracking. And yet, we keep hearing this BS about how Biden / Harris needed to do something about fossil fuels.

Of course what we need to be doing is halting all burning of fossil fuels ASAP, but that would be a losing electoral strategy. Who cares about the looming climate disaster, we need cheap gas...

The only actual issue there is that energy companies want a fire sale on perpetual resource rights on protected federal land they don’t already have access to.

The rest, and the part communicated to voters, is yet another fake issue. It’s exhausting.
