Barrasso, Manchin Release Bipartisan Energy Permitting Reform Bill

Joe Manchin, U.S. Senator from West Virginia, can't be gone soon enough for us. He sold out the country and his constituents when he voted for Biden's Green New Deal, conveniently renamed the Inflation Reduction Act (see Tragedy: Joe Manchin Caves & Agrees to Big Green Build Back Better). Manchin thought he had a deal with his fellow traitorous Democrats that if he voted for the IRA, they would support him and vote for "permitting reform," which included pushing through the long-delayed Mountain Valley Pipeline. He thought wrong (see Fellow Democrats Welsh on Manchin Permitting Reform/MVP Deal). Before Manchin exits stage left at the end of this year (he's not running for re-election), he's pushing permitting reform one last time.
