The leaders of the Marcellus Shale Coalition, Kentucky Gas and Oil Association (KGOA), Gas and Oil Association of West Virginia (GO-WV) wrote a letter to Washington, D.C. last week encouraging the federal government (i.e. Joe Biden) to allow butane blending with gasoline as a great way to lower prices at the pump. But the groups didn’t send the letter to Joe Biden, knowing it would get filed in the circular file next to Biden’s desk. Instead, they sent the letter to another Joe–U.S. Senator Joe Manchin from West Virginia. Manchin, chairman of the powerful Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, has the attention of the Bidenistas since he torpedoed the administration’s Build Back Worse plan last December. If Joe Manchin talks about something, Joe Biden pays attention (if he isn’t napping).
