    https://www.wvia.org/news/pennsylvania-news/2024-10-10/pa-voters-split-on-fracking-but-show-widespread-support-for-stronger-regulations

    58% of PA voters want it banned, because they’re the ones who are getting fucked over most by fracking.

    Even the other 42% want more regulations on it

    But the only two candidates for president both think it’s fine, and want to open up more land to it.

    If Kamala sided with people over corporations on this issue, it would lock down PA, and also help with the other coal states around them.

    The only people who are pro-fracking are fossil fuel executives and the politicians they bribe donate to

      Thanks for the info! To be honest in my ignorance I kind of assume most people in areas where a large employer is located support that business because their incomes depend on it. As usual there’s nuance to everything though.
