Noah Smith argues that Kamala Harris must become a vocal champion for expanding fracking in Pennsylvania to boost her electoral prospects in the crucial swing state. Fracking supports hundreds of thousands of jobs in Pennsylvania through the Marcellus Shale's natural gas production and local economic multipliers. Despite climate concerns, fracking has environmental benefits over coal, geopolitical advantages against Russia, and keeps U.S. oil and gas prices low. Biden quietly boosted fracking, but Harris should loudly promise to expand it while also promoting green energy - appealing to pragmatic voters focused on economic issues without alienating reasonable progressives.
