If re-elected, former President Trump vowed he would slash energy costs in half and undo what he called Kamala Harris’ “war on energy.”
Former President Trump vowed Saturday to slash U.S. energy costs in half if re-elected, seizing on oil and gas policies to draw a sharp contrast with Kamala Harris in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania.
Speaking to voters at a rally in State College, Trump vowed to lift the U.S. pause on U.S. liquefied natural gas export terminals, embrace fracking and otherwise undo what he described as the “disastrous” energy policies enacted under the Biden administration.
“Starting on day one of my new administration, I will end Kamala Harris’ war on Pennsylvania energy”, Trump told the crowd. “And we will frack, frack, frack.”
Fracking, the process of using pressurized fluids to extract natural gas from shale rock, is a controversial technology and one Harris previously pledged to ban when seeking the presidency in 2019.
But fracking is necessary to access the vast gas resources tucked away in Pennsylvania. The state is not only a pivotal battleground state with 19 electoral votes. It’s also the second-largest natural gas producer in the U.
