Cap and Trade Vote Results: 219-212 (list in alphabetical order)
In the United States, the House of Representative climate bill, approved by a 219-212 vote Friday evening (see list below), would mandate that 15% of the nation's electricity come from renewable sources such as wind and solar power by 2020, potentially expanding the market and profit potential for companies in those sectors. Towards that goal, it seeks to boost nascent industries such as wind-generated electricity and solar power.
The 1,200-page bill, called Cap-and-Trade, formally known as the "American Clean Energy and Security Act," will reach into almost every corner of the U.S. economy. By putting a price on emissions of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, the bill would affect the way electricity is generated, how homes and offices are designed, how foreign trade is conducted and how much Americans pay to drive cars or to heat their homes, the Wall Street Journal reports on Saturday.
The House bill has a provision that would impose tariffs on goods imported from countries that don't match U.S. carbon dioxide restrictions. It will affect trade with China and India that could provoke a "trade war".
The bill needs to pass the Senate as well (see Wall Street Journal's video).
