(CNSNews.com) – Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) told “Fox News Sunday” that when President Barack Obama first got inaugurated, green energy was supposed to take care of anything, but what really kept the U.S. out of a “terrible recession” was fracking.
When asked whether former Secretary of State John Kerry was right that green energy jobs are some of the fastest growing in the country, Cassidy said, “We’ve heard this before from President Obama. When he first got inaugurated, green energy was going to take care of anything. What kept us out of a terrible recession — it was bad, but kept us kind of emerged, was fracking. It wasn’t green energy.
