Let me be clear, and I know this always comes up. We're not going to ban fracking," Biden told reporters Wednesday.

During the campaign, Biden explicitly opposed a nationwide ban on the controversial oil-and-gas technique, although the Trump campaign repeatedly suggested otherwise. And it's not even clear that a president has the legal power to ban fracking on private lands -- that would likely take an act of Congress.
