Senate Republicans don’t sound happy with how their counterparts in the House are treating carbon capture technology.

The House GOP’s reconciliation bill puts limitations on the carbon capture tax credit that have frustrated industry leaders and senators alike.

“Carbon capture credits are important for us, for natural gas and coal industries,” Sen. Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia told NOTUS. “I know they shortened them, so I think we’ll take a look at that.”
