The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee has announced votes for Thursday on several of President Donald Trump’s nominees.
The panel will likely advance Leslie Beyer to be assistant Interior secretary for lands and minerals management, and Andrea Travnicek to become assistant secretary for water and science.
Also up for a vote are Theodore Garrish to be assistant Energy secretary for nuclear and Tristan Abbey to lead the Energy Information Administration.

During her confirmation hearing last month, Beyer defended the administration’s pro-fossil fuel agenda and addressed questions about offshore wind. Travnicek discussed plans for the Colorado River. And Garrish called for more investment in nuclear reactors.
