Manchin to block all Biden's EPA nominees over power plant emissions proposal.

Sen. Joe Manchin, chairman of the Senate Energy Committee, has threatened to oppose all of President Biden's nominees for the Environmental Protection Agency unless the administration rescinds a proposal to limit power plant emissions. Manchin accused the Biden administration of trying to advance a "radical climate agenda" and to "regulate coal and gas-fueled power plants out of existence." The EPA proposal would impose standards on fossil-fuel-burning power plants with the aim of drastically cutting power plant emissions by 2040.
