Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said Wednesday he will oppose all of President Biden’s nominees for positions at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over energy policy disagreements.
“I fear that this Administration’s commitment to their extreme ideology overshadows their responsibility to ensure long-lasting energy and economic security and I will oppose all EPA nominees until they halt their government overreach,” Manchin said in a written statement.
He specifically cited proposed regulations for power plants that are expected soon from the EPA.
“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,” he said.

He’ll vote against them until the check clears, then he votes for them. Shysters gonna be shysters.
He’s losing support in WV as people get that dems are not their friends.
Either that or Senator Tester finished off the last of the sandwiches on the houseboat.
Nah he’s up for election next year so has to start to separate himself from Biden and radical left, but it’s all for show
Once re elected he will continue to toe the line.
Between now and then he will be given approval to look like he’s actually not a shill, because everyone knows if he doesn’t run there is no chance any othe D will win that seat in 24
.
Joe gave him a blessing for Re-Election of Six years.
It’s all coordinated
THE ENTIRE EPA needs to be dissolved.
I think his vote for the Inflation Reduction Act was the final nail in the coffin.
Good...
Trivia: This was one of only five states that voted to re-elect Jimmy Carter in 1980. Four years later, there was only one and a shift of less than 3000 votes would have made it the first 50 state sweep in history.
Them coal unions are well organized.
The democrats had to know there would be some (at least a little) pay-back by Manchin for betraying him and destroying his chances of re-election.
The benefit for the GOP is that this will work out well for them.
Too late Joe.
