Pro fracking

Trump has been an early and vocal supporter of fracking. In 2012, he tweeted: “Fracking will lead to American energy independence. With price of natural gas continuing to drop, we can be at a tremendous advantage.” In February of last year, he pledged to convince New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to allow hydraulic fracking statewide. At the time, Cuomo had yet to make a final determination on the issue, but Trump claimed that fracking would get the green light “because I mentioned it [to Cuomo].” A few months later, in December, New York became one of the first states to ban fracking outright. In April 2016, Trump criticized Albany’s decision again. “It’s a terrible situation, and New York is in deep trouble,” Trump said on 1300-AM (WGDJ) in Albany. “As you know, we [New York] didn’t take advantage of our energy situation, and now it’s very late because the prices are so much lower. And you look at Pennsylvania, right along the state line, they have machines all over the place and people driving around. You know the expression, they are driving in their Cadillacs. And on the other side of the line, which is just an artificial line and people are literally in poverty. It’s just so incredible and we never took advantage.”

Trump reiterated his support for fracking in New York in a speech in March 2016, stating, “Did you know, if they fracked in New York, New York would lower its taxes, would have no debt, would have made a fortune. Instead, Pennsylvania took all the money. They took those beautiful, beautiful natural resources, they took them out.”

Trump also used fracking as an excuse to take a swipe at Ohio Governor John Kasich, a GOP primary competitor who recently dropped out. Trump commented that some of the Republican governors running for President “got a little bit lucky with the fracking,” to suggest that Ohio’s natural gas production boom had brought prosperity to the state.
