There is one takeaway from this vote, and it is that #Republicans are still doing the bidding of the fossil fuel industry.
Their cartoon version of the #GreenNewDeal was cooked up by the Koch brothers.
The instruction to have this vote came from the fossil-fuel-friendly @WSJopinion.

The industry that funds their Party is not willing to support a solution to the single greatest challenge of our time, and wants this stunt instead.
Our children & grandchildren will someday ask what we did to defend them from advancing seas, increasingly extreme weather events, and growing security threats driven by #climatechange.

We’ll have to say that today we took a show vote on #climate bill that was intended to fail.
I hope this lame stunt is the last gasp of #climate denial, and that our #Republican colleagues will begin a sincere effort.
