This is what Manchin opposes:

“ Even though Manchin is a longtime proponent of carbon capture, he recently cast doubt on its potential. "I'd love to have carbon capture, but we don't have the technology because we really haven't gotten to that point. And it's so darn expensive that it makes it almost impossible," Manchin told reporters in September.
Manchin spokesman Sam Runyon told CNN in a statement Friday that the senator "has clearly expressed his concerns about using tax payer dollars to pay private companies to do things they're already doing. He continues to support efforts to combat climate change while protecting American energy independence and ensuring our energy reliability."

The heart of President Biden’s climate agenda is said to likely be cut from the budget bill because Senator Joe Manchin opposes it.
Friday, October 15, 2021 7:06 PM EST

Mr. Manchin, the Democrat from coal-rich West Virginia whose vote is crucial to passage of the bill, has told the White House that he strongly opposes the program to rapidly replace the nation’s coal and gas-fired power plants with wind, solar and nuclear energy, according to people familiar with the matter.

As a result, White House staffers are rewriting the legislation without that climate provision.
