Henry Waxman beat John Dingell in a secret ballot among House Democrats. Waxman will now chair the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Dingell has been a pawn of the auto industry for years, and is as much responsible for Detroit’s shortsighted approach to its business as were the managers that flew their private jets to Washington to be for taxpayer cash.
It is now not only possible, but likely, that the House will take some meaningful steps to combat global warming.
