Biden responded by vowing to take action of his own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me be clear: if the Senate will not move to tackle the climate crisis and strengthen our domestic clean energy industry, I will take strong executive action to meet this moment,\u201d Biden declared in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2022\/07\/15\/statement-by-president-joe-biden-5\/\">statement<\/a>. \u201cMy actions will create jobs, improve our energy security, bolster domestic manufacturing and supply chains, protect us from oil and gas price hikes in the future, and address climate change. I will not back down: the opportunity to create jobs and build a clean energy future is too important to relent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manchin, a moderate Democrat who is currently a swing vote in the evenly divided Senate, has stalled other elements of the Biden administration\u2019s agenda \u2014 including the omnibus <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/joe-manchin-cuts-ad-for-republican-brags-about-blocking-build-back-better\">Build Back Better<\/a> plan, efforts to federalize <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/democrat-joe-manchin-to-oppose-partys-abortion-bill\">abortion law<\/a>, and the removal of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/the-borders-have-to-be-secure-manchin-pans-plans-to-end-title-42\">immigration restrictions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Manchin recounted his move to sink the Democratic legislation during a Friday morning interview with Talkline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said, \u2018Chuck until we see the July inflation figures, until we see the July, basically Federal Reserve rates, interest rates, then let\u2019s wait till that comes out so we know that we\u2019re going down a path that won\u2019t be inflammatory, to add more to inflation,\u2019\u201d Manchin told host Hoppy Kercheval. \u201cHe says, \u2018Are you telling me you won\u2019t do the other right now?\u2019 I said, \u2018Chuck, it\u2019s wrong, it\u2019s not prudent to do the other right now.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden secured just 29.7% of West Virginian voters during the 2020 election, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2020-elections\/west-virginia-president-results\">NBC News<\/a>, while President Donald Trump won 68.6%. West Virginia ranked among the top six states for energy production as of 2019, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/todayinenergy\/detail.php?id=49356\">U.S. Energy Information Administration<\/a>, especially with relation to coal.<\/p>\n<p>State officials have previously mourned animosity toward coal power from regulators and progressive investors. Calling green energy \u201ca rich man\u2019s problem,\u201d West Virginia State Treasurer Riley Moore <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/wall-street-is-trying-to-punish-middle-america-for-religious-and-cultural-views-through-woke-investing-republican-state-treasurers-warn\">told<\/a> The Daily Wire last month that the Mountain State\u2019s reserves are critical to the energy supply of the United States and its allies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we\u2019re going to be an energy independent country, you need states like West Virginia,\u201d Moore remarked. \u201cWe could be helping our allies over in Europe \u2026 if these people would just let us build pipelines to get gas out of West Virginia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, recent inflationary pressures have largely been driven by high energy costs. Gas prices reached <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/gas-prices-hit-grim-national-average-of-5-per-gallon\">$5.00 per gallon<\/a> in early June before falling to a national average price of $4.55 as of Saturday, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/gasprices.aaa.com\/\">AAA<\/a>. As Moore mentioned, prices are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/europes-gas-prices-are-even-higher-than-americas\">even higher<\/a> in Europe, which relies heavily upon Russia for its energy supply.<\/p>\n<p>In response to recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-slammed-for-remarks-on-enormously-high-gas-prices-theyre-saying-the-quiet-part-out-loud-now\">questions<\/a> about \u201cenormously high gas prices,\u201d Biden argued that the phenomenon will induce a faster transition to green energy. \u201cWhen it comes to the gas prices, we\u2019re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it\u2019s over, we\u2019ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over,\u201d he commented.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
