Sen. Boxer has announced the subcommittee assignments for the Senate
Environment and Public Works Committee.
Barbara Boxer's in charge of "Public Sector Solutions to Global
Warming" and Joe Lieberman is in charge of "Private Sector and Consumer
Solutions to Global Warming". Boxer's subcommittee is a mishmash of her
pet issues whereas Lieberman's subcommittee is more rational -- other
than global warming it covers just wildlife.
Still, there's not a particularly coherent integration of dealing with
global warming with related public works issues.
In reality, Max Baucus's subcommittee will be dealing with a lot of
global warming-related topics: transportation, the Federal Highway
Administration, public buildings, and green buildings. And Tom Carper
is in charge of the Clean Air Act (CO2 regulation!) and the Economic
Development Administration.
