Positive News for Fuel Economy and the Environment

Henry Waxman has defeated John Dingell in a bid to be the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

This is huge, as Dingell has stood in the way of every attempt to raise mileage standards or to clean up vehicle exhaust. Even when he gave way, it was after a bruising fight. Detroit might not be in the same awful position that it is today if Dingell had not protected "business as usual" for them.
