Scranton Joe? More like Beijing Biden.
Washington Examiner (9/2/20) column "Joe Biden and running mate Sen. Kamala Harris are both on record opposing innovative drilling techniques that have transformed Pennsylvania into a major energy producer. The former vice president expressed his hostility toward the process of hydraulic fracturing, widely known as 'fracking,' during a March debate with Sen. Bernie Sanders. Biden also told an Iowa voter he would 'love to” ban fracking all across America and make sure the country 'can’t use any oil or gas, period.'...Tom Pyle, president of the free market-promoting Institute for Energy Research, has put it very well. 'Pennsylvania’s strength is America’s strength,' he said. 'As part of the wider shale revolution, the Marcellus basin has contributed to production gains that have made America the world leader in natural gas supply, a net oil and gas exporter, and a major player in liquefied natural gas trade.' Pyle continued: 'But instead of capitalizing on the world-class energy resources that Pennsylvania has been blessed with, Biden wants to coax our economy towards costlier, less reliable renewable energy whose market is largely controlled by China.'"
