The 15 minute House vote on the Energy Bill ... 2

... just started. Update shortly.

UPDATE: It passed! The bill now goes to the Senate. Reid says he'll hold a cloture vote on Saturday.

The big question is whether Reid can get the bill through with the RPS and the tax provisions intact. It would be quite a feat if he did.

UPDATE 2: Here is the final roll call:

FINAL VOTE RESULTS FOR ROLL CALL 1140

    Good stuffAlthough the roll call looks like a pretty straight, party-line vote.  Nice work Ds... but we could use some more folks coming across the aisle in the Senate.
