Manchin: “People would like to eliminate certain energy sources we use, I’d like to innovate.” 

Washington, DC – On Monday, U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Ranking Member Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Chairman Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), participated in a panel discussion about U.S. energy policy as part of the 38^th annual CERAWeek by IHS Markit Conference. The panel was moderated by Dr. Daniel Yergin, vice chairman of IHS Markit and conference chairman.
