TITUSVILLE, Pennsylvania -- With two weeks to go before the U.S. presidential election, the campaign of former President Donald Trump is highlighting its differences with Vice President Kamala Harris on energy, especially in the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania, a leading natural gas producer.
Trump maintains that Harris wants to ban hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which involves the use of highly pressurized blasts of water and chemicals to extract natural gas and oil from subterranean rocks. The vice president, who backed a ban during her unsuccessful campaign for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, now says she would allow the practice.
