control of the House (mostly because of ineptitude in the New York state party, of all places), there won\u2019t be much \u201cprogressive legislation\u201d to speak of; in fact, it will be hard enough to get basic governmental functions (passing a budget, raising the debt ceiling) taken care of, since whoever ends up trying to drive the clown car that is the GOP House caucus will have to somehow bring <a href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/redirect\/18e78bb3-353c-4421-83bc-afb19b729e1e?j=eyJ1IjoiNWttZ2kifQ.sr_zNiF1fJk27Tb2oLQMfLja-sPu1fVpWSahyWG2_fk\">Marge from Crossfit<\/a> et al under some kind of effective control.<\/p>\n<p>That means that progress, such as it is, will come largely from Biden exercising \u201cexecutive authority\u201d\u2014those powers that don\u2019t require Congressional approval. They can be fairly expansive, but he shied away from using them much in the first two years, largely because he was trying to get his signature win\u2014the Inflation Reduction Act\u2014and so he didn\u2019t want to offend his necessary 50th vote, Joe Manchin.<\/p>\n<p>But Raphael Warnock\u2019s win in Georgia gave the Democrats 51 seats, and Krysten Sinema didn\u2019t quite take back that win\u2014she\u2019ll register as in independent, but like Bernie Sanders and Angus King she\u2019ll caucus with the Dems. (Until she decides not to). So Manchin will become marginally less important come January. Which would be a good thing, because he\u2019s really abused his power\u2014he stripped the Inflation Reduction Act of some of its core principles, and he has also prevented truly talented people from serving in public office.<\/p>\n<p>Consider Sarah Bloom Raskin, nominated by Joe Biden to a seat on the Federal Reserve. An expert in climate risk to financial institutions, she would have given clearly needed guidance in the transition to a cleaner-energy economy. But Big Oil knew that, so they deployed the guy they\u2019d given more money to than any other. Here was Manchin: \u201cHer previous public statements have failed to satisfactorily address my concerns about the critical importance of financing an all-of-the-above energy policy to meet our nation\u2019s critical energy needs,\u201d he harrumphed. \u201cI have come to the conclusion that I am unable to support her nomination to serve as a member of the Federal Reserve Board.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The other great example\u2014and the subject of this small essay\u2014is Laura Daniel-Davis, nominated in June of 2021 to be assistant secretary of the Department of Interior for land and minerals management. She is clearly highly qualified for the job\u2014as a <a href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/redirect\/b8a65470-106d-4c9a-8bb9-13c93644d33a?j=eyJ1IjoiNWttZ2kifQ.sr_zNiF1fJk27Tb2oLQMfLja-sPu1fVpWSahyWG2_fk\">letter<\/a> from more than a hundred prominent women this week advocating for her confirmation points out, she was Chief of Staff to both Interior Secretaries Sally Jewell and Ken Salazar, and served in a leadership role at the Department during the Clinton administration. But in the 500 days since her nomination, and despite two full-bore confirmation hearings, she\u2019s still awaiting a floor vote in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>We take it for granted, of course, that every Republican senator will vote in lock-step with the oil and gas industry: after all, they didn\u2019t produce a single vote for the Inflation Reduction Act, even though it was about as business-friendly a bill as it was possible to imagine, all carrot and no stick. So that left Manchin, chair of the Energy Committee, and he refused to even schedule a vote on her nomination until he was assured that the Department of the Interior &#8220;intends to get back to the business of leasing and production on federal lands and waters in a robust and responsible way.\u201d That is, until they repudiate what climate scientists have made clear (that we need to quickly wean ourselves off fossil fuel) and what Joe Biden ran on (that we would curtail fossil fuel leasing on federal lands). Eventually, last summer, Manchin allowed the vote to take place, and did back her\u2014but likely knowing her nomination would then languish because, with an evenly divided Senate, each side gets the same number of members on committees, and each of the Republicans voted no.<\/p>\n<p>To get her nomination approved, Chuck Schumer would in this lame duck session have to use what\u2019s called a discharge petition, a cumbersome bureaucratic maneuver that tkaes up a lot of floor time. That\u2019s why those women wrote that letter last week. \u201cIt is not an exaggeration to suggest that leaving this position vacant puts the commitments agreed to in the IRA at risk, not to mention the president\u2019s clean energy and climate goals\u201d they said. \u201cFor example, the White House has said it wants to pledge 30 gigawatts of new offshore wind energy by 2030,requiring the approval of 16 wind farms by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, one of the agencies under the ASLM\u2019s purview. The Assistant Secretary will play a critical role in reviewing and approving the permits for these projects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They argue that women in particular have been bullied by Manchin and the Republicans in confirmation after confirmation over the last two years. Bloom Raskin is a clear case; Tracy Stone-Manning was eventually confirmed to lead the Bureau of Land Management, but only through via the discharge petition maneuver, and only after she\u2019d been ludicrously accused of \u2018eco-terrorism.\u2019 My guess is that they\u2019re simply not members of the old-boy networks that have long governed land policy; Big Oil understands that they\u2019re bringing new thinking to bear, and it knows that their tactic of delay depends on squelching that new thinking.<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s a good day to write to Senator Schumer, or your Democratic senator, and urge them to put this on the to-do list for the lame-duck session. Maybe with Warnock\u2019s win she\u2019ll get approved after yet another set of hearings, but it would be nice to avoid that. Because the climate crisis is a timed test.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/email.mg1.substack.com\/o\/eJw9kEuOxCAQQ08zLCMg_LLgLIhPkUZNSETItHL7gY40u5LLsp_sbYN1r7c-9rMh2GzKZoUCtevB2KaJkFhKzpjAM0ZBY0m9dCidJlb4-jU6LpeTty3txaSg2awIE-ilMaXOy0AXEkP0iwguzkJYNku_UB4dGqXGXiFB8aDhF-q9F0B-3zYobWQ9ln6oRSnBFUZJ055LKCFEEEn4NE-OB-WsAk4WHjGOPwxvK5nOy53N-vfU81DV4eNftoTcv-vg_sod3Yy6q6R2GyjWZQi61QtQeza5TqgDYJnHAuIBavcBusDnzNAaVNSrwt5Di3Yp582_k3NQEPzPx-kfzaN48A\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No sooner than we sent the &#8220;Letters&#8221; email you just received, we got one from Bill McKibben asking us to<span class=\"text-cutoff\">&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1252,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-51080","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-emails-to-members"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
