12/13/2007 -- WASHINGTON, DC - Senator John Kerry made the following statement today, after Republicans blocked a cloture vote on the energy bill. Kerry was the only member of Congress to attend the International Climate Conference in Bali this week.
"While the world's leaders gathered in Bali to combat climate change, the Senate's Roadblock Republicans didn't have enough backbone to stand up to big oil and pass an energy bill that will help fight climate change rather than make it worse," said Kerry. "Republicans today made it clear they'd rather protect excessive tax giveaways for big oil than protect America from climate change or break our dependence on foreign oil. This vote today was a disgrace."
