.Sen_JoeManchin's permitting reform rider fails a second time with NDAA agreement
Manchin sought to have his Energy Independence and Security Act of 2022, which would overhaul various environmental review and permitting processes for energy infrastructure projects, attached as a rider on the National Defense Authorization Act. Many liberal Democrats, as well as top Republican negotiators, opposed the attempt to attach the bill to must-pass legislation.
Opposition to Manchin's bill has been widespread among Democrats and liberal interest groups, which objected to what they dubbed a"dirty deal" for its favorable treatment of fossil fuel energy projects and other measures, including changes to environmental laws. Manchin said late Tuesday that"America’s energy security has never been more threatened" in response to the news.
