Sen. Joe Manchin III vowed to oppose all EPA nominees who need confirmation, citing his displeasure over a greenhouse gas emissions rule for power plants that the agency is expected to announce Thursday.
The West Virginia Democrat said the Biden administration is pursuing a “radical climate agenda” regarding power plants, the second-largest source of emissions in the country, behind transportation.
“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.
