“The progress that we have made in a cleaner environment has been happening precisely because we have a strong, free-market economy. You know, what’s remarkable is the United States has reduced CO2 more than the countries that are still in the Paris climate accord, but we’ve done it through innovation. And we’ve done it through natural gas and fracking — which, Senator, the American people can go look at the record. I know Joe Biden says otherwise now, as you do, but the both of you repeatedly committed to abolishing fossil fuel and banning fracking.” “So, first of all, I will repeat, and the American people know, that Joe Biden will not ban fracking. That is a fact. That is a fact. I will repeat that Joe Biden has been very clear that he thinks about growing jobs, which is why he will not increase taxes for anyone who makes less than $400,000 a year. Joe Biden’s economic plan — Moody’s, which is a reputable Wall Street firm, has said, will create 7 million more jobs than Donald Trump’s. And part of those jobs that will be created by Joe Biden are going to be about clean energy and renewable energy.”
