But is she actually interested in being on the environment subcommittee of the energy committee? I think this is the one that handles climate policy, but probably not a whole lot will be accomplished with the senate and WH still in Republican hands. She may have problems blaming the Democrats for everything, but then again maybe not. Rep. Paul Tonko's the ranking member so in line to become the new chair.

There're also environmental subcommittees under the appropriations and science committes, plus many subcommittees that undoubtedly impact on climate issues, like ag, water police, many others.


No matter where she's assigned, she'll have a huge learning curve. Hope she appreciates it because I'm feeling jealous looking at dozens of committee names. Like a college catalog but better.

Btw, good news regarding the science committee: Democrats are bringing back science and ousting muck and mysticism. Those fires are from global warming, not Satan's demons operating through the Democratic Party.
