Cap And Trade Is On - HR 2454 Passed The House

American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (H.R. 2454) has passed the House, 219 - 212, closer than the trial vote but passed nonetheless. Now it goes to the Senate.

• Democrats: Yes 211, No 44, NV 1
• Republicans: Yes 8, No 168, NV 2

So now, the bill that hardly anyone in the House of Representatives read, with 300 pages missing ("but always available on the Internet" or the "cloak room" of the House), is going to dictate the energy policy of the world.

8 Republicans who voted Yes:

• Bono Mack (CA)
• Castle (DE)
• Kirk (IL)
• Lance (NJ)
• LoBiondo (NJ)
• McHugh (NY)
• Reichert (WA)
• Smith (NJ)
