ABC News has learned that House Democratic leaders have voted to strip Representative John Dingell of his chairmanship of the House Energy and Commerce committee, replacing him with Henry Waxman.

In a stinging rebuke, the House Steering committee voted 25-22 by secret ballot during a closed-door Democratic leadership meeting.

The move was a dramatic one for House Democrats -- considered a victory for House liberals and environmentalists, a big defeat for Michigan and the auto industry.

This is a BIG CHANGE and could be a significant DIFFERENCE for the world as well as the US - Kyoto, alternate energy / clean power initiatives and funding, energy independence, real and meaningful auto mileage and emissions standards, etc.
