As he promised to do in prior statements (”electric bills would necessarily skyrocket”, etc.)

And yet you fools in West Virginia went ahead and sent Joe Manchin to the Senate. It will still be your dumbest decision ever, even if you do join the Big 12.

No, when they vote again for Obama in '12, that will be their dumbest decision.

Manchin won't vote against coal....just sayin, unless he wanted an early retirement

Manchin, Rockefeller Co-sponsor Coal Ash Bill in Senate

Measure virtually identical to one McKinley sponsored in the U.S. House of Representatives. Sens. Joe Manchin and Jay Rockefeller, both D-W. Va., have signed on as co-sponsors of a U.S. Senate bill they say would ensure the safe and effective disposal of coal combustible residuals, also known as coal ash. Ash is a byproduct of coal-fired power plants and is recycled as a building material. The bill is practically identical to one that passed the House of Representatives Oct. 14. That bill was introduced by Rep. David McKinley, R- W.Va. It limits the EPA’s ability to regulate the disposal of coal ash.
