WASHINGTON, D.C. The Obama administration are deniers if they believe they can take drastic energy action without causing other deleterious effects, according to West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin.
You know we talk about deniers. I would say theyre the deniers, not me. I think 7 billion people have had an impact and we have a responsibility. But also we have a responsibility to make sure that we still deliver even the light saving energy that people depend on and I think they are just throwing one caution off to the other, Manchin told reporters Monday evening, reacting to the proposed rule from the Environmental Protection Agency.
Monday the EPA announced a rule that would cut carbon dioxide emissions from power plants by 30 percent nationwide below 2005 levels by 2030. Coal-state Democrats were generally not pleased.
Another vulnerable Democratic senator took issue with the process.
I do not think this policy should be pushed through regulation by EPA, Louisiana Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu told reporters Monday, explaining she believes the goals and timeframe should be determined by Congress, so I am not supporting the rule.
Landrieu was not all negative, however, the flexibility and the timeframe is more preferable than a one-size fits all, but I am still opposed to the EPA rule, She said, stressing that she was not commenting on the specifics.
Of how this will affect her upcoming reelection, the Louisiana Democrat noted that energy is just one issue of many.
