Will Harris go after Big Oil? The candidate has kept her climate policy vague so far, but her record as a prosecutor gives climate activists hope.

She did change her position [on](https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2024/09/10/how-kamala-harris-views-on-fracking-have-changed-after-backtracking-on-ban/) Fracking.
From wanting a ‘ban on fracking’ to ‘opposing ban on fracking’.
This doesn’t bode well.
No, she won’t. What part of her answers on fracking and energy independence are unclear?
She’ll continue the policies of Biden’s administration, continue high fossil fuel production in the US to keep prices down and help Europe keep off Russian gas.
I fully expect between November and January Biden to approve the currently stalled LNG terminal project in the gulf.
We are going to continue to make incremental progress, that’s all.
She’s pro-fracking, both before, and now. That’s just oil’s destruction and power in another outfit.
If she does go after big oil she is not going to say it during this presidential campaign that would lose the election because the number one topic this week of BS voter who turn on a dime is the economy. The Republicans love to talk about the economy when they have no moral high ground . Big oil will not be around as long as we think at least in its current capacity as big oil invests in green energy to off set losses and they try to monopolize green energy.
There’s theory and reality. We can stop pumping oil today and all we will do is pour money into Russia and Iran. Our biggest enemies are petroleum economies.
The reality is we need to stop demand, not supply as long as the world is consuming it
She’s a democrat, the polite version of corpo-friendly capitalist. I wouldn’t bet on it. This is what the two party system gets you.
I doubt it. Her platform will likely be continued support of us oil and nat gas extraction. However I do expect continued support of renewables
I think it is dishonest to use the word “hope”.
Harris, like any other President, will need a Congress that she is in agreement with or that agrees with her (your phrasing, your choice). Expecting her to “do” anything is laying out an unrealistic goal.
Our job is to deliver a bottom to top political structure that will encourage and enable an end to our carbon economy.
My take anyway.
No it does not???
