Senate confirms Biden nominee to lead EPA’s climate and clean air office

So we should expect the impeachment proceedings to start next week?

Just in time for SCOTUS to take away the EPA's regulatory power!

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Three years into the Biden administration, it finally has a Senate-confirmed official leading the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) work on clean air and climate change.

In a 50-49 vote, the Senate confirmed Joseph Goffman to be the EPA’s assistant administrator, leading its Office of Air and Radiation.

On the Senate Committee, he worked on amendments to the Clean Air Act, including efforts to combat acid rain.

His record has been praised by many Democrats as safeguarding people from air pollution and climate change, but criticized by Republicans as being bad economically.

Goffman’s actions – marked by federal overreach and job-killing regulations – have been a disaster for our country,” Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) said in a floor speech on Wednesday.

EPA Administrator Michael Reagan celebrated the confirmation in a written statement, saying that Goffman is  “uniquely skilled at building consensus among stakeholders and crafting policies that tackle global challenges like climate change, while at the same time addressing longstanding pollution concerns in overburdened communities.”
