An economy that "leans heavily" on fracking? What sort of economy leans on destroying their water table? What did you say about the economies that "lean heavily" on coal mining?

Like what, West Virginia? Can me when they're a swing state, but don't hold your breath.

If the conviction issue depends upon it being a swing state then it isnt a conviction issue.

Who's arguing about conviction here?

I want the US to pull out of fossil fuels. In the immediate future, there is no presidential candidate committing to that, but one of them is completely all-in on expanding fossil fuels so I will be voting for the opposite candidate.

Which candidate are you referring to? And it certainly hasn't been just in the last month that fossil fuel policies have been a political issue.
