he wants to spike clean energy and keep the status quo on climate..What is there to debate? He wants more money out of the deal, for himself and cronies, nothing more.
Joe Manchin is 74 years old, he'll be gone soon, but the consequences of his complete lack of action will impact every future generation. So enough excuses; removing all fossil fuels is a strategic imperative to help our next generation remain competitive and viable.
I've yet to see a national TV ad produced by Democrats that directly attacks Manchin with: Joe Manchin is working hard to keep you poor while shifting taxpayer funds to corporate welfare projects that line his own pockets.
We pretty much know...whatever Big Oil and the Repugs want. That's what Maserati Manchin wants. What a POS. He is Boss Hogg without the seersucker suit.
It’s just to give cnn a chance to put a headline with clean energy and dirty coal Manchin in the title since few Americans have time to read a speculative article
He wants money. The stacked deck he's created with absolute corruption isn't good enough for him even still. He has no interest in legislating unless he gets more money.
No matter how many times this sub goes on about Manchin and Sinema, everyone knows that if turnout is poor come the midterms, they will not be blamed for alienating progressives. Progressives will be blamed for not being "pragmatic".
As a reminder, this subreddit
More money, duh.
What could he want?!?!

Manchin offered a very generous green energy package in exchange for making the wider BBB less costly.
If Manchin wants to be a kingmaker for all legislation, he should be the one to talk and propose language first every single time.
He’s acting like Moscow Mitch. Makes an agreement and when the Democrats agree he asks for more.
Oolong
Obstruction disguised as process.

“Removing all fossil fuels” is a meaningless fantasy espoused by the online activist class and no serious environmentalists.
Don’t touch coal, take it off the table, now we can discuss climate.
Alt headline :
He probably doesn't want clean energy or anything to combat climate change, he's just wasting everyone's time.
He literally offered a very generous green energy package for BBB in exchange for a less costly wider BBB bill.
What he wants is two million dollars a year more than the million he makes now with the coal company his family owns. Simple.

Sounds like a typical meeting.
as the world waits with bated breath and fear in their hearts of what our climate is going to look like in 50 years...

Money, Power, Fame
He wants… to waste time.
He wants nothing to change while feigning concern.
A Manchin

That's an easy question to answer.
He wants to string it out then say it's no good.

Playing the part
We'll never know what he want out of the deal. He'll just keep moving the goal post as always.
Whatever is morale-sappingly to the right of what's proposed.
Money... He wants money. That's all he wants from anything, that's all he cares about.
Time wasted. That’s what he wants.
To reassure his donors and Republican colleagues that he will kill anything on clean energy and will continue to fuck the environment over for a buck.
Maybe… “this can’t impact my income or net worth.” ?
Everyone knows what he wants. The bill to die, keeping his assets in the clear, making hm more money.
Biden looks so weak. Manchin just deciding what gets done.
> Manchin is being an obstructionist not on behalf of his constituents but on behalf of big oil and wealthy donors.
