Historic Vote for Energy Independence and Wildlife

I’m heartened by this evening’s vote by the House of Representatives to pass the American Clean Energy and Security Act. The bill passed with a 219 to 212 bipartisan vote.

This is the most important conservation vote in a generation. Thanks to all who worked to ensure passage of this bill to invest in a clean energy economy, reduce global warming pollution and protect America’s wildlife and natural heritage. Now we take this cause to the Senate with the winds of change at our back.
