U.S. Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md.-1st, wants more sanity brought to the nation's energy policy and thinks the focus should shift from alternative energies such as solar and wind to a controversial natural gas collection process commonly known as fracking.

Harris, in a speech given at a Talbot County Republican Central Committee fundraiser Thursday, threw his support behind hydrofracturing the process, as described by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, of pumping fluids deep into a rock formation until the pressure causes it to fracture and release natural gas.
