I'd guess every leader has to make decisions they don't like or agree with, fracking for gas and oil is one of those. The important thing is how it's balanced with investment in renewables. America now is capable of creating its own oil needs, while the demand for that oil diminishes and renewables replace, the path is clear to any 5 year old what the country will be more dependant on in 25 years.
Trump seems to be doing his best to reverse that trend... which is insanity.
Personally I'm against fracking, same with nuclear power, however I accept both are necessary evils and should be allowed... just please throw $9 of my tax dollars at renewables for every $1 spent on fracking locations, eventually then we all win, well not Towelheads & Russia.. sorry about that.
