Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) are seeking to drive investment in rural America by proposing legislation that would allocate $8 billion to manufacturers and other industrial companies to retool, expand, or build new facilities that make or recycle energy-related products.
Possible products include equipment needed for alternative energy and energy efficiency efforts, such as geothermal drills, and products or technologies that capture, remove, use, or store carbon dioxide.
