America’s coal producers final week accused West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin of throwing them below the bus along with his tax-and-climate deal. However lo, his fellow West Virginia Sen. Shelley Moore Capito might have saved them from a near-term dying.
In a letter to Mr. Manchin final week, eight state coal associations didn’t cover their sense of betrayal: “The extra you learn and digest the provisions present in over 700+ pages of legislative digest, the extra it turns into abundantly clear this laws will serve to severely threaten American coal.” They add: “This laws is so egregious, it leaves these of us that decision Senator Manchin a buddy, shocked and disheartened.” Et tu, Joe?
