I have to assume Biden is wary about losing votes in PA over banning fracking. There is plenty of opposition to fracking in PA, but also a whole lot of jobs associated with that practice, and therefor also sizable support for it. Meanwhile, if Biden isn't 100% better than Trump on the environment, he's at least 99.9% better than Trump on the environment.
