Manchin gets to see more US vehicles use more fossil fuel per fill up AND more corn production goes into the food supply chain instead of producing ethanol (which although cleaner burning, it's production is not so environmentally friendly). Manchin gets richer which is what this is about.
We need alternative energy investment and vehicles.
