Host Brian Sullivan also raised concerns about the potential impact of these regulations on power generation, especially with the need for more electricity in the future. Manchin emphasized the importance of having suitable replacements for coal power before phasing it out. He also mentioned feedback from regulators indicating a lack of balance between removing and adding power sources. Additionally, Manchin commended the energy production increase under the Inflation Reduction Act.
