    Biden has modest approval from Americans ahead of 100-day mark.
    New York Magazine (Left) • Factual Grade 78% • 4 min read

    Less than a week before the 100th day of his presidency, a slight majority of Americans approve of Joe Biden, according to several new national polls published Sunday. ABC News notes that Biden’s 52% in a Washington Post/ABC poll is the third lowest approval rating for any president since 1945, ahead of Gerald Ford’s post-Nixon pardon 48% in 1974 and Donald Trump’s historically abysmal 42% in 2017.
    ...
    A solid majority approve of his handling of the coronavirus pandemic: 69% in an NBC News poll, 64% in the Post/ABC poll, and 65% in a CBS News/YouGov poll — which also showed 72%, including 47% of Republicans, approving of Biden’s handling of COVID vaccine distribution.
    ...
    It also appears Biden’s infrastructure plan has slim to solid majority support according to the polls, though it’s not as popular as the COVID stimulus. Amid a surge of migrants at the southern border, anywhere from 53% to 59% of Americans in the polls disapprove of how President Biden has handled immigration and/or border security at this point.

Context: California will ban fracking in 2024.

BEST COMMENTS

No - I work in power generation and renewable energy. This is purely political. California has some of the worst infrastructure in the country, and renewables aren’t reliable enough (yet) to produce power at a low cost to the consumer. Instead of Newsom writing executive orders to ban fracking, he should be pouring R&D into battery storage and a healthier California grid.


Yes - With externalities ranging from poisoned drinking water to earthquakes, the long-term costs ...



No - Energy independence is a matter of national security. Banning fracking would destroy our domestic energy production and make us s...
