CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Now the top Democrat on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., says he might surprise some people.
Leaving the Independent Oil and Gas Association West Virginia Winter Meeting in Charleston on Wednesday, he said tackling climate change would be a priority.
“We’re going to surprise a lot of people, because climate change has to be on the front burner,” the state’s senior senator said. “Everything we do has to be done with climate change in consideration.”
