Presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar pushed back Wednesday on the position of Democratic rivals who want to ban the practice of fracking for natural gas, saying the fossil fuel will “still exist for a while.”

“I see natural gas as a transition fuel,” Klobuchar said in response to a question at CNN’s climate change town hall event. “It is better than oil but not nearly as good as wind and solar. I am being honest on what we need to do. We won’t immediately get rid of it.”
