What else Manchin wants: unabated natural gas, meaning existing plants without carbon capture, to receive credit, at least in the early years of the program until renewables are more widely deployed, sources following negotiations tell me.
@SiegelScribe This debate hasn’t been resolved for many many years (20+) on the RPS, RES, CES— don’t see how it is suddenly going to be successfully resolved in just the next few weeks with the CEPP.
@SiegelScribe Totally unacceptable. We drop climate imperative because of Joe Manchin?
