What could possibly be wrong with that?

Mary Landrieu becomes chair of the Senate Energy Committee.

And the oil-and-gas industry, along with coal advocates, let its excitement be known.

“She has been an outspoken critic of EPA’s misguided carbon regulations, often breaking with party lines in order to voice her concerns about the rules’ devastating economic consequences," the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity said in a statement. 

"We hope Senator Landrieu’s chairmanship will inspire a new era of bipartisan cooperation between both chambers of Congress in defending the American people and the American economy against President Obama’s dangerous and reckless carbon rules," the group continued.

Congrats
