.Sen_JoeManchin canceled a committee vote to advance POTUS’s nominee to lead Energy's efficiency office, citing concerns over the candidate's support for the agency's proposed appliance efficiency standards, which could eliminate half of all gas stoves.
Manchin, who chairs the Senate Environment and Natural Resources Committee, had previously supported the nomination of Jeff Marootian to lead DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, or EERE.On Wednesday, however, he yanked the committee's planned vote to consider Marootian for the role.
The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee voted to confirm Marootian to the role in November, but his nomination stalled at the end of the legislative session.But DOE has since proposed a number of new appliance efficiency standards aimed at cracking down on emissions from household appliances.
