Progress Pond

Cap and Trade

The House of Representatives is debating the American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES) this afternoon. Watch it on CSPAN. You can entertain yourself by keeping score. If a Republican makes a factually accurate statement, give them a point. I’m betting that, based on what I’m seeing right now, the GOP will finish this debate with zero points. It is still a daily surprise to me that a creature exists (Republicans) that has no inner filter that tells them not to lie. Hopefully, the bill will pass later today. But it won’t get a single Republican vote. Does anyone know if this bill has any chance in the Senate?

Update [2009-6-26 19:17:36 by BooMan]: ACES passed 219-212.
