Manchin to Block All Biden EPA Nominees on Climate Plan.

Senator Joe Manchin, chair of the Senate Energy Committee, has vowed to 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. Manchin has been in a constant battle with the administration in recent weeks as he seeks to distance himself from its aggressive climate agenda. The EPA is expected to unveil a sweeping proposal Thursday to slash greenhouse gas pollution from the nation's thousands of power plants, requiring sharp pollution cuts from plants burning coal or natural gas, the country's two biggest electricity sources.
