President Obama will veto these efforts to undo the Clean Power Plan, and there are more than enough supporters of the plan in Congress to sustain the veto.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/climate\/a-new-federal-clean-power-plan\">Clean Power Plan<\/a> is a Clean Air Act initiative to cut dangerous carbon pollution from power plants and spur growth in clean energy. It is an important part of America\u2019s leadership strategy on climate change, which is helping not only to accelerate the transition to clean energy here at home but also to inspire actions by other nations, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/blog\/2015\/02\/24\/how-i-know-china-serious-about-climate-action\">including China<\/a>.\u00a0With world leaders set to convene global talks on climate change in the coming weeks, it\u2019s important to put today\u2019s votes in context.<\/p>\n<p>For two years &#8212; even as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was developing the Clean Power Plan \u2014 Senate Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has been promising to block the rules any way he could.\u00a0In March,\u00a0he launched a symbolic attack on the Clean Power Plan that passed the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.senate.gov\/legislative\/LIS\/roll_call_lists\/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=114&amp;session=1&amp;vote=00116\">Senate 57-43<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s vote, which was based on an infrequently used procedure called the Congressional Review Act, McConnell\u2019s margin of victory grew smaller. Three Republicans (Senators Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Susan Collins of Maine and Mark Kirk of Illinois) broke from McConnell and supported the Clean Power Plan.<\/p>\n<p>Since the rule\u2019s release this summer, public support for limits on carbon pollution have only increased. According to a <a href=\"http:\/\/content.sierraclub.org\/press-releases\/2015\/11\/eve-senate-votes-new-polling-key-states-shows-strong-support-clean-power-plan\">Public Policy poll<\/a> done this month, 60 percent of voters in Iowa support the Clean Power Plan, while 70 percent of voters in Illinois and 64 percent in Virginia support it.<\/p>\n<p>The Clean Power Plan comes at\u00a0a time\u00a0when shifts in technology are opening new pathways to clean energy. Even utility companies recognize that a fundamental shift has taken place. The CEO of one of America\u2019s largest coal burning power companies, AEP, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.utilitydive.com\/news\/aep-ceo-clean-power-plan-could-be-the-catalyst-to-transform-utility-indu\/409156\/\">recently said<\/a> he views the Clean Power Plan as a:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>catalyst for the transformation that\u2019s already occurring in our industry<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Clean Power Plan is also just one element of a bigger turning point in American policy on clean energy and climate in recent years. The adoption, a few years ago, of dramatically increased gas mileage standards and greenhouse gas limits for cars is no longer a matter of controversy. States like California and a consortium of nine northeastern states are demonstrating that market-based climate pollution limits are good for economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is that today\u2019s votes to \u201coverturn\u201d the Clean Power Plan\u00a0were all about political theater. Everyone involved knows the congressional resolutions will ultimately fail, so it\u2019s a free vote for politicians who want to appeal to a relatively narrow slice of the electorate.<\/p>\n<p>The larger narrative, which is the transformation of the United States into a global leader to protect the next generation from climate pollution, is the real story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It can be hard to interpret political maneuvering inside the Washington Beltway, and today\u2019s Senate votes on the U.S. Clean Power Plan are no exception.\u00a0So take it from someone who keeps a close eye on these votes in Congress &#8212;
