Manchin vows to oppose Biden EPA nominees over ‘radical climate agenda’ against power plants -
The warning from the conservative West Virginia Democrat against the forthcoming regulations, which he called the latest effort “to kill the fossil industry,” marks the escalation of his feud with the White House.
“Interesting that Manchin waited until Feinstein returned to get tough on EPA noms,” tweeted Doug Andres, a spokesperson for Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell. “Allows him to vote with Rs but the noms will likely still be confirmed.” The proposed EPA regulations would require natural gas- and coal-fired power plants to implement technology known as carbon capture and storage to retrieve carbon dioxide emissions and store them underground as part of a broader bid to slash U.S. carbon emissions in half by 2030. The power sector generates about 25% of climate-warming emissions.
