House Cap-and-Trade Bill Expected to Face Tougher Time in Senate

摘要

The historic ―cap-and-trade energy bill passed June 26 by the U.S. House of Representatives by a 219 to 212 margin will face a tougher time when it moves to the Senate this fall, Capitol Hill sources indicated June 29. The close vote in the House, where about 20% of the Democrats (44) voted against the 1,200-page measure formally known as the American Clean Energy and Security Act, shows that it will face hurdles in the upper chamber.
