Andrew Harnik/APJoe Biden is continuing to clarify his position on fracking, telling supporters at an event in Bucks County on Saturday. "I’m not banning fracking in Pennsylvania or anywhere else. Biden claimed that he "never said I oppose fracking" when pressed by President Donald Trump on the issue during Thursday night's presidential debate. In 2019, Biden said "we would make sure it's eliminated" when asked about the future of coal and fracking; in 2020 he said he opposed "new fracking." Rather, it proposes "banning new oil and gas permitting on public lands and waters" — not ending all new fracking anywhere or ending all existing fracking on public lands and waters.
