Harris won’t support expanding fossil fuel drilling, campaign says [Video]

Vice President Kamala Harris would not support an expansion of fossil fuel drilling despite her recent campaign boasts about domestic oil production under the Biden administration.

“Just to be clear, Vice President Harris hasn’t said anything that the administration hasn’t already said. She is not promoting expansion [of fossil fuel drilling]. She’s just said that they wouldn’t ban fracking,” Camila Thorndike, Harris’ climate engagement director, said in an interview with Politico.

The comments come as Harris has continued to face questions about her stance on energy production, going from supporting a ban on fracking just five years ago to touting the “largest increase in domestic oil production in history” during her time as vice president.
