I don't particularly disagree with what you've said but can you elaborate on this one?
https://www.wvia.org/news/pennsylvania-news/2024-10-10/pa-voters-split-on-fracking-but-show-widespread-support-for-stronger-regulations
58% of PA voters want it banned, because they're the ones who are getting fucked over most by fracking.
Even the other 42% want more regulations on it
But the only two candidates for president both think it's fine, and want to open up more land to it.
If Kamala sided with people over corporations on this issue, it would lock down PA, and also help with the other coal states around them.
The only people who are pro-fracking are fossil fuel executives and the politicians they ~~bribe~~ donate to
Thanks for the info! To be honest in my ignorance I kind of assume most people in areas where a large employer is located support that business because their incomes depend on it. As usual there's nuance to everything though.
