Cha, cha changes: Rep. Henry Waxman defeated Rep. John Dingell for the chairmanship of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and certain people are just giddy with the possibilities:
“This is huge for those who’ll want strong action on both climate change and clean energy and energy independence (and health care)” wrote Joseph Romm, a former Clinton energy adviser and a blogger for the Center for American Progress, a think tank headed by John Podesta, Bill Clinton’s former chief-of-staff. “Heck, it’s the second best piece of news on global warming this month!”

Giddy, no. Hoping we've finally started to turn the corner from greedy acquiescence to actual action on climate change, yes. If I could stack all my anger about our attacks on other nations, eroded civil liberties, denied gay rights, and unaffordable health care, it might be be as big as my concern for our environmental future.

So, yes. This is the best news I've heard since election night.
