Related thread: Democrats’ War on Fracking Will Cost Them in Battleground States. Ohio and Michigan have more than 400,000 shale workers, and Pennsylvania alone has 320,000.. The article later mentions a poll finding that 57% of Pennsylvania swing voters oppose a ban on fracking, with only 39% supporting. That poll also finds that 56% oppose a Medicare-for-all plan that eliminates private health insurance, and 72% oppose no longer detaining people who cross the border illegally.

Trump needs to get all RATS on record for their Fracking Ban platform and PUMP ADS 24/7 with them.

Outside of the Philadelphia area and within limited areas of some major cities such as Scranton, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, we also have the crappiest roads in the nation and a need to get around by automobile.

Pennsylvania used to be known as a fracking state — due to the drilling activity in the Marcellus shale region.

What has changed in recent years is that PA is now attracting industrial development in industries that rely on access to cheap natural gas.

Shell is nearing completion of a large polyethylene manufacturing plant on the Ohio River just outside of Pittsburgh. I believe this is the largest private capital investment in the history of Pennsylvania.

In recent weeks there’s been an announcement that ExxonMobil is looking to construct a similar plant right downriver in Pennsylvania, West Virginia or Ohio. There are strong rumors that an orange-haired public official who lives in a large white house in Washington DC is going to be the keynote speaker at a groundbreaking ceremony for the new project in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election. :-)

As long as it doesn’t affect THEIR jobs though.

A fracking ban may cost them elections (which is all that dems worry about) but it would cost the rest of us much more.

Because of fracking, the United States economy and energy supply are no longer completely dependent upon the whims of Arab dictators. Instead, the U.S. has become a net exporter of oil for the first time in 75 years.

The “working man” should be coming to the realization that the Democrats are no longer the “party of the working man”.

Rats killing jobs can hurt them in the ballot box. Who’d a thunk it!?
