Pelosi and Dingell make nice Committee Clash of 2007 settled semi-amicably	David Roberts	07 Feb 2007	Gristmill
Ending a struggle that easily could have gotten ugly, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman John Dingell have settled their feud. Looks like Pelosi has agreed to make the special committee all bark, no bite: In a new letter [PDF] to Pelosi, Dingell wrote that the select committee has no legislative authority and that the panel will expire on Oct. 30, 2008. Dingell also wrote that he has "assurances" from Pelosi that his c ...

Dingell meets Gore Gore to testify to Congress	David Roberts	03 Feb 2007	Gristmill
Here's a handy political rule of thumb: don't front on John Dingell. In recent weeks, House Speaker Pelosi moved to create a special committee on global warming chaired by Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.). It won't have subpoena powers, but it will call hearings. It was a shot across Dingell's bow, letting him know he better take global warming seriously. Well, Dingell has just booked Al Gore as the sole testimony before a March 21 joint hearing of his Energy and Commerce ...

The political climate: House Pelosi snubs Dingell	David Roberts	18 Jan 2007	Gristmill
I discussed the climate-change climate in the Senate -- things are hopping. The House, of course, is a different and less friendly animal, where Dems are stepping more gingerly. One notable development is that Speaker Nancy Pelosi rather publicly stuck her thumb in the eye of Michigan Rep. John Dingell, announcing today the formation of a select committee on climate change with the power to subpoena and hold hearings. Dingell's House Energy and Commerce Committee ...

Array of Hope Environmental leaders and thinkers on what comes next		03 Nov 2004	Main Dish
What do we do now? That's the question one early riser asked Grist in a letter to the editor right after the election results rolled in. Faced with another four years of the Bush administration -- an administration that has been roundly denounced as the most environmentally destructive in the history of the nation -- our correspondent asked: Where should environmentalists put their energies for the next four years ...
