Coal Baron - Hell-of-a-conflict-of-interest!

Financial records detailed by reporter Alex Kotch for the Center for Media and Democracy and published in the Guardian show that Manchin makes roughly half a million dollars a year in dividends from millions of dollars of coal company stock he owns. The stock is held in Enersystems, Inc, a company Manchin started in 1988 and later gave to his son, Joseph, to run.

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."
