Last week MDN brought you the sad and tragic news that West Virginia U.S. Senator Joe Manchin has sold out. He put his party above the good of the country and agreed to a Green New Deal bill Chuck “the schmuck” Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are pushing (see Tragedy: Joe Manchin Caves & Agrees to Big Green Build Back Better). As we told you on Friday, the bill will slap oil and gas companies with an onerous new methane tax (see Joe Manchin’s Green New Deal Cave Slaps O&G with Big Methane Tax). Why did Manchin do it? What made him flip to the dark side so fast? We now have the sad answer.
