Manchin deal includes $369 billion for 'energy security' and climate programs

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : It's unclear how exactly the two bills compare, but the House-passed Build Back Better Act, which Manchin backed away from in December, would have funded some $555 billion worth of energy and climate incentives, such as production tax credits for green energy technologies.
36% : Manchin said on July 15 that he wasn't ready to support a larger bill covering taxes and energy because he feared doing something that would inflame inflation further.
32% : The Senate Energy and Natural Resources chairman also criticized the Biden administration and much of his party, which he said wanted to "eliminate, eliminate, eliminate" the use of fossil fuels in favor of renewable energy sources.
