Joe Biden’s campaign is walking an environmental tightrope in Pennsylvania, aiming to balance his new, aggressive climate plan with reassurances that he won’t seek to gut the fracking industry that has turned the state's natural gas riches into an economic engine.
The stark differences in their policies were on display this week. Biden announced plans to spend $2 trillion on clean energy in a bid to stoke enthusiasm among national younger, more progressive voters who have been skeptical of his commitment to green issues. Trump meanwhile announced measures to limit environmental reviews under the bedrock National Environmental Protection Act of 1970, and touted his administration's long list of deregulatory actions.
But Biden has said he would not allow new oil and gas development on federal land or waters. And in one debate, he misstated his own position, saying he would allow “no new fracking,” which his campaign immediately walked back. The Trump campaign, however, broadcast the slip to paint Biden as aligned with Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who both have called for national fracking bans.
Spigelmyer has already asked Trump to speak again at the group's annual conference, which is scheduled for this fall, and he is planning to invite Biden to clear up his position on the issue.“I don't know how many times he has to say he does not favor banning fracking. I want to see what the lack of clarity is. I mean, he has said that how many times on the record including in the past week?” said Rep.
But Fetterman said the current economic worries and public health crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic are likely to overshadow fracking for most voters in the state in this year's election. Mikus acknowledges the political sentiment is different in the southwestern part of the state, where he says polling indicates Biden would benefit from some “targeted communication” to make his fracking position clearer. And he says Biden's path to victory will require him to peel off some votes in counties that are likely to back Trump.
