Axios: Manchin downs Dems’ hopes of passing key clean energy measure
Joe Manchin reportedly won’t accept a major new program of financial support for utilities to boost clean power in Democrats’ spending plan
The pillar of the Biden climate package may be cut to reduce the total cost of the plan.
There are just 11,418 coal-mining jobs in West Virginia. The state is already a chemical and manufacturing hub, one primed to benefit from green technology investment.
This is entirely about Manchin's wallet and the $500k a year he gets from Enersystems, which burns waste coal. https://t.co/L3JXFYzizR
