As a US Senator, Kamala Harris was an early co-sponsor of the Green New Deal. The climate proposal also includes job guarantees for displace workers and a call for a national healthcare system. The plan included $10 trillion to reduce greenhouse gases by 2045. During a CNN forum on climate change in 2020, Harris said she opposed fracking and offshore drilling. She said she would also ban fossil fuel leases on public lands if elected as president. She called for a pollution fee on carbon and would strengthen enforcement and prosecution of fossil fuel companies. This agrees with Biden's statement when he said, "I want you to look at my eyes. I guarantee you. I guarantee you. We're going to end fossil fuel."Sep 28, 2023 It is difficult to find any positions on nuclear by either Biden or Harris but after much searching I found this from Harris when asked do you support nuclear energy and she responded, Yes, temporarily while we increase investment into cleaner renewable alternatives This is in direct contrast with the country currently producing more fossil fuels that at any time in history. Harris has recently started to reverse her position on fracking but will that change again once she is elected. She seems very committed to the Green New Deal which in essence means wind and solar.
