US energy bill sails through House but stalls in Senate
Source: Environment News Service (ENS)
Senate Democrats failed to force a vote today on sweeping energy legislation approved Thursday by the U.S. House of Representatives, as critics balked at provisions that repeal oil industry tax breaks and create a national renewable electricity standard. The vote will force Senate Democrats to allow changes to the bill in order to appease Republicans and makes it unlikely either of the two provisions will survive.
The vote cast a shadow over a legislative victory touted by House Democratic leaders on Thursday afternoon, when the House approved the energy bill by a largely partisan vote of 235-181.
