Matt Cartwright silent on Biden fracking ban

January 22, 2021

Joe Biden just delivered on another one of his campaign promises, placing a moratorium on new oil and gas leases on public lands.

These leases account for 25% of the United States’ crude oil output and a ban could cost 60,000 jobs and $800 million in public funding for services such as public schools and first responders.

Yet, Matt Cartwright is silent as Joe Biden implements these job-killing policies in the middle of a pandemic.

Why won’t Matt Cartwright stand up for Pennsylvania jobs?
