That statement 'if he can' is pure speculation.... and I'm not sure if Oklahoma wants to have fracking continued... as I understand it they have a massive increase in earthquakes.... so maybe it is not such a good idea to open up new fields for fracking and drilling considering what it has done to our drinking water, streams, natural habitat, mountain tops etc. > Although Rush Dougherty added the comment about no clean energy nor EVs, there is > nothing in Trump's statement to that effect (as included in his message).
