Former President Trump made a promise to reduce energy costs in the United States by half if he is re-elected. He made this vow during a rally in State College, Pennsylvania, where he also pledged to increase liquefied natural gas (LNG) production in the country. Trump criticized the energy policies implemented by the Biden administration, calling them “disastrous.” He specifically mentioned the importance of fracking, a controversial method used to extract natural gas from shale rock, which is crucial for accessing Pennsylvania’s vast gas resources.
Although Vice President Kamala Harris has expressed support for fracking during this election cycle, Trump claimed that she has been against it for her entire life. He also blamed Harris for what he sees as failures in U.S. oil and gas production under the Biden administration. Trump promised that if he is re-elected, energy prices will be cut in half within 12 months, aiming to undo what he referred to as “Kamala’s ban” on natural gas exports.
Supporters at the rally cheered Trump’s promises, with some attendees waiting in line for hours to hear him speak. Trump assured the crowd that he would address the energy sector’s failures and bring back manufacturing jobs to the United States. He criticized Democrats for their approach to energy and manufacturing, pledging to make America’s future a golden age where all problems will be solved.
Overall, Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania highlighted his focus on energy policies and his commitment to boosting LNG production while reducing energy costs for Americans. His promises resonated with his supporters, who believe that he can bring back manufacturing jobs and revitalize the energy sector in the country. As the election approaches, Trump’s stance on energy and his plans for the future will continue to be a key focus of his campaign.
