Biden's selection of as his vice presidential running mate could mean the end to the affordable energy that makes modern American life possible.
In comparison to the Trump administration, which has prioritized deregulation and energy dominance, the former vice president and California senator have both committed themselves to heavily restrict fracking as they focus on climate change and renewable energy.
Moderators at the Democratic Party debates asked him about his position on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, the means by which American natural gas producers have helped to free us from many of the vagaries of international energy markets.
Jayapal has publicly bragged about her ability to "Significantly push Joe Biden to do things that he hadn't signed on to before." Biden is, in her estimation, "Movable."
While The New York Times recently tried to sell Harris as a "Pragmatic moderate," on issues of energy, her policies align far more closely with the progressive wing of the party.
Harris recently introduced the Climate Equity Act with Rep. In the Democratic presidential debate, Harris bluntly stated that she "Support[s] a Green New Deal," the nearly $100 trillion climate change policy authored by Ocasio-Cortez.
The Biden-Harris position on fracking and natural gas production is abundantly clear, as reported by a recent string of tweets from Alex Epstein, author of "The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels." Epstein contends that fracking is the means by which the U.S. produces 60 percent of our oil and 75 percent of our natural gas.
