LATEST PITCH TO FOSSIL FUEL WORKERS: Sens.
Joe Manchin and Debbie Stebanow are aiming to make good on Democrats’ promises to fossil fuel workers by expanding an advanced manufacturing tax credit program deployed as part of the Obama-Biden administration’s Recovery Act.
Their
American Jobs in Energy Manufacturing Act introduced today would build on the 48C tax credit by offering $8 billion to build or retrofit manufacturing and industrial facilities to make clean energy technologies such as battery storage, carbon capture and removal, low-emissions vehicles, energy efficiency equipment, and more.

Black Americans have disproportionately suffered from pollution. It’s time for a new policy. Vox.com 2/26/2021 Rachel Ramirez © Julie Dermansky for Vox Environmental justice activist Sharon Lavigne stands outside her home in St. James, Louisiana, on February 23, 2021.
Sharon Lavigne has lived in St. James Parish, Louisiana, a predominantly Black community, all her life. She remembers when the air wasn’t covered with thick gray smog, when the water was still safe to drink, when the gardens were productive and fertile.
But now, she says, “we are sick and we are dying.”
Lavigne has watched her neighbors die from cancer and suffer from respiratory illnesses. About five years ago, she too was diagnosed with pollution-linked autoimmune hepatitis, with tests showing she had aluminum inside her body. The reason for the community’s decline in health, environmentalists say, is a burgeoning fossil fuel industry right in their backyards.
