I'm disappointed that he addressed energy and specifically mentioned natural gas, but did not address the controversial "fracking" method for extracting it.

Considering the high engagement from certain areas of the US at that point in the speech, I'm willing to bet a lot of other folks felt the same way.

He did, at least euphemistically. Right after the very first mention of natural gas he said "if extracted safely".

That's about as far as he is going to go if he isn't going to say 'no more fracking'.
