During Sunday night’s debate, when both candidates were asked if they supported fracking, Hillary Clinton gave a meandering answer that she tried to position as being very tough on fracking. “By the time we get through all of my conditions, I do not think there will be many places in America where fracking will continue to take place,” she said.

Bernie returned with one of the lines of the night:

“My answer is a lot shorter,” he said, responding to a debate question about whether the candidates support fracking, a procedure in which pressurized water and chemicals are injected into the ground to release oil and natural gas. “No. I do not support fracking,” he said to cheers from the debate crowd in Flint, Mich.

Bernie did extend his answer to explain why:

“I talk to scientists who tell me fracking is doing terrible things to water systems all over this country,” he said. “We’ve got to be bold now. We’ve got to transform our energy system to energy efficiency and sustainable energy. We have to do it yesterday.”

Go Bernie! Win this thing!
