In 2020 Harris called for a complete ban on fracking in the US. She also (Green New Deal) called for a complete sessation in the use of all fossil fuels by 2050. She's since changed her position on those issues. Just as Joe promised to be a centrist prior to his swearing in. In her case however, she's now telling the truth.
I'm very trusting however.
USA Facts
Oct 1, 2024
Domestic crude oil production more than doubled between 2011 and 2022, faster than at any point in history. The US hit a peak of 12.3 million barrels per day in 2019.
In 2022, five states accounted for more than 70% of total crude oil production:
Texas: Over 1.8 billion barrels of crude oil produced, or 42.4% of the US total
New Mexico: Over 574 million barrels of crude oil, or 13.2%
North Dakota: Over 386 million barrels of crude oil, or 8.9%
Alaska: Over 159 million barrels of crude oil, or 3.7%
Colorado: Over 157 million barrels of crude oil, or 3.6%
Oil producers have used hydraulic fracturing (or fracking) for more than 60 years. Yet fracking and horizontal drilling have led to an unprecedented rise in oil production: in the early 2000s, 7% of US oil was extracted via fracking; by 2022, two-thirds was.
