Manchin won't vote against coal....just sayin, unless he wanted an early retirement

Manchin, Rockefeller Co-sponsor Coal Ash Bill in Senate

Measure virtually identical to one McKinley sponsored in the U.S. House of Representatives. Sens. Joe Manchin and Jay Rockefeller, both D-W. Va., have signed on as co-sponsors of a U.S. Senate bill they say would ensure the safe and effective disposal of coal combustible residuals, also known as coal ash. Ash is a byproduct of coal-fired power plants and is recycled as a building material. The bill is practically identical to one that passed the House of Representatives Oct. 14. That bill was introduced by Rep. David McKinley, R- W.Va. It limits the EPA’s ability to regulate the disposal of coal ash.

No, but that was a crucial vote to keep the Senate under Harry Reid's control, which effectively hamstrings the GOP from doing anything about this train wreck.
