Manchin announces opposition to top Biden Interior nominee over ‘partisan politics’ - Washington Examiner

Sen. Joe Manchin announced his opposition to President Joe Biden's pick for a top role at the Interior Department, accusing Laura Daniel-Davis of prioritizing politics over the nation's energy security needs. The Senate Energy and Natural Resources chairman said he will not advance the...

Manchin referred specifically to the revelation that Interior weighed but declined an alternative sale option in its recent offshore oil and gas lease sale in Alaska's Cook Inlet that would have charged lower royalties on leased parcels.
The Inflation Reduction Act, Democrats' energy and healthcare spending bill for which Manchin was the key vote, ordered Interior to carry out three offshore lease sales, including the Cook Inlet sale.

It also authorized Interior to charge higher royalties on oil and gas leases, something the Biden administration and others seeking to crack down on climate change supported as providing a fairer return to taxpayers.
he Cook Inlet lease sale received meager interest, and the department awarded only a single leasing block out of hundreds offered.



The Treasury Department missed its deadline at the beginning of the year to issue guidance for new domestic sourcing requirements that vehicles must meet in order to be eligible for the max $7,500 credit.

Those requirements, which were another Manchin priority, are not being enforced.

FCC nominee Gigi Sohn withdraws after more than a year of fighting for post

Sohn ultimately faced senators across three confirmation hearings since Biden first tapped her for the post.

President Joe Biden’s long-stalled nominee for the Federal Communications Commission — Gigi Sohn — said on Tuesday she will withdraw her nomination to fill the fifth seat on the commission.

Sohn’s withdrawal came shortly after Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) announced he would vote no on her nomination.

Manchin won't be happy until there are tax credits for coal powered cars.

One would think Manchin was up for re-election in a ruby red State.

I can't help but notice that all the rejected Biden nominees have one thing in common.

Manchin keeps edging closer to becoming a republican.

It is the same long-standing fight against Democrats that we've been having since 1980 to increase domestic oil production. Democrats hate the US with a passion and want to see it utterly destroyed, so they have waged war on all energy production within the US. Denying the Cook Inlet leases was just a tiny piece of the war Biden has declared against US energy producers.

Everyone remembers Biden shutting down the Keystone XL pipeline, but few remember that Biden also signed a moratorium that stopped all fossil fuel production on federal lands. Democrats will do everything in their power to harm the US and its citizens, as Biden regularly demonstrates.

Opposing Big Oil is un-American.
