The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

They also never tried to ban fracking. They didn't try to go into Pennsylvania and force them to shut them down. They included provisions favorable to fracking in the IRA. And Harris' emphasizing that part of the IRA in the debate, rather than the Green stuff, sends a powerful signal. And of course, oil and gas production in the U.S. is currently at an all-time high.

Obama tried to claim this also, but he had a problem: almost all of the energy production came from development on private lands.

Does anyone really believe that Biden/Harris sped up permits and leases? A simple investigation will reveal they didn't:

politico.com - Drilling permits spiked then plunged under biden

The number of oil and gas permits approved by the Bureau of Land Management for drilling on public lands declined to its lowest number under the Biden administration in January.

Oooops. Again, that pesky anti-fossil fuels record of hers.

There's a reason why nobody believes her about fracking or any kind of fossil fuel energy cheerleading she might try.
