WASHINGTON (CNN) – President Obama’s push for a new energy policy got a major boost Thursday when a key House panel approved a plan aimed at addressing climate change.The House Energy and Commerce committee passed the bill largely along party lines, 33-25. One Republican, Rep Mary Bono Mack, of California, voted with the Democrats in favor of the bill.
The bill, drafted by Democrats, would create a so-called “cap and trade” system for U.S. businesses to sell credits for pollution.
