CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -
U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is taking two other U.S. senators on a tour of energy production sites around West Virginia.
Manchin's office says the tour that started on Friday, includes a Marcellus Shale site, coal mines, a coal-fired power plant, a wind turbine project and reclaimed surface mining sites.
The West Virginia Democrat is being joined on the tour by Alaska's Lisa Murkowski and Oregon's Ron Wyden. Manchin is a member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and Murkowski is the committee's leading Republican. Wyden will be the highest-ranking Democrat on the committee after the retirement of chairman Jeff Bingaman.
Manchin has been a critic of the Obama administration's energy policies, including its increased scrutiny of mountaintop coal mining.
Manchin says the tour will demonstrate the state's "all-of-the-above" approach to energy.
