C'mon man. I was against fracking before I...you know the thing. What are you a junkie? Look fat, you're a lying dog face pony soldier. If you don't vote for me, you ain't a racist." - dementia Joe

On January 24, 2020, speaking to a New Hampshire voter, Biden said he would stop fracking. The woman voter asked, “But like, what about, say, stopping fracking?”
Candidates say many things during the primary. If Biden says ban fracking in the primaries, that translates to phasing out slowly in the general election. Obama/Biden were very favorable to fracking - just saying.
The irony is that President Obama - who is not viewed as a friend of the oil and gas industry - has presided over rising oil production in each of the seven years he has been in office. (On a separate note, expect that streak to be broken in 2016). From that low point in 2008, U.S. oil production has grown each year to reach 9.4 million bpd in 2015 -- a gain of 88% during Obama's presidency. This is in fact the largest domestic oil production increase during any presidency in U.S. history.
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden appeared Monday in Pittsburgh and defended his position on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking — a controversial drilling technique that has lifted the economy in Western Pennsylvania.
“I am not banning fracking. Let me say that again. I am not banning fracking. No matter how many times Donald Trump lies about me,” said Biden, who spoke at a Carnegie Mellon University robotics institute.
But let's be clear -- when a Democrat changes his view on a policy he lied but when a Republican changes their view -- they are flexible.
Okay -- we got it.
But at the end of the day -- we have to take what Biden says now -- and he says he will not ban fracking.

Whoa, AOC isn't going to like this. It doesn't conform to the Green New Deal.

As we saw in the debate last night, Kamala loves fracking the way Kavanaugh loves beer.
Funny, that she said she wanted to ban fracking a few short months ago. And Biden wanted to ban "new fracking" it before he didn't. Or maybe he still does. It's hard to tell when they keep changing their stance depending on who their audience is.
