Its was only 65 of 435 (15%). And it just signing a letter not voting. From a national defense stand point we should be pushing for:
– 50% of electric green by 2020. I’ll even let big hydro in that very low goal.
– Complete cut of oil/gas/coal support (ask stated International agreements)
– Drop nuclear support also
Now if they were smart they would also add a GHG (based on use) fee, plus a triple the amount on any fuel exported. Funds from this would go:
– 50% to cash credit to each tax payer, yes you have to file sorry.
– 25% for PV, heat pumps, and efficiency improvements to public buildings.
– 25% for deployment of new items. Example, micro grid, grid storage, PV quick charge, etc.

For the export fee, you take the lower 50% efficient US industry would have paid if they used that fuel (GHG fee) and triple it. And yes, part of the GHG fee would be on petro for your car/truck.
