Sen. Joe Manchin III said Wednesday that he will oppose all of President Biden’s nominees for the Environmental Protection Agency unless the administration rescinds a proposal to limit power plant emissions.
Manchin, who is chairman of the Senate Energy Committee and who has long fought on behalf of the coal industry, accused the Biden administration in a statement of trying to advance a “radical climate agenda” and to “regulate coal and gas-fueled power plants out of existence.”
“If the reports are true, the pending EPA proposal would impact nearly all fossil-fueled power plants in the United States, which generate about 60 percent of our electricity, without an adequate plan to replace the lost baseload generation,” Manchin said. “This piles on top of a broader regulatory agenda being rolled out designed to kill the fossil industry by a thousand cuts.
It is not the first time Manchin, who represents a coal-producing state, has publicly clashed over energy policy with Biden, who has vowed since he took office that tackling the climate crisis would be a priority.over its handling of guidance on which electric vehicles qualify for tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act. He also joined Republicans in voting to overturn a Biden administration rule aimed at stronger protection of the nation’s waters.
