The EPA is expected to unveil a sweeping proposal Thursday to slash greenhouse gas pollution from the nation’s thousands of power plants.
, chair of the Senate Energy Committee, said Wednesday he would oppose every Biden administration nominee for the Environmental Protection Agency in anticipation of a “radical” regulation the agency is expected to propose Thursday regulating emissions from fossil fuel power plants that are driving climate change.
“This Administration is determined to advance its radical climate agenda and has made it clear they are hellbent on doing everything in their power to regulate coal and gas-fueled power plants out of existence, no matter the cost to energy security and reliability,” Manchin said in a statement.
Manchin has also joined Republicans in supporting resolutions they’ve brought up for a vote disapproving of the administration’s energy and environmental policies, including last month’s vote when he was the only Democrat to join with Republicans to support overturning an EPA regulation on emissions from heavy-duty trucks.
EPA Administrator Michael Regan, testifying before the House Energy and Commerce Committee Wednesday, emphasized that his agency’s pending rule would be designed to give “the power sector maximum flexibility” to use technologies such as carbon capture to meet emissions limits set by the regulation. Manchin’s threat to oppose all EPA nominees could be fairly minimal. There are two pending EPA nominees before the Senate: Joe Goffman to run the air office and David Uhlmann to helm the enforcement office. BothManchin had not previously taken a public position on Goffman, but had been expected to oppose him because of his work writing climate regulations during the Obama and Biden administrations.
