AP: In a triumph for President Barack Obama, the Democratic-controlled House has narrowly passed sweeping legislation calling for the nation’s first-ever limits on pollution linked to global warming.
The bill also aims to usher in a new era of cleaner, yet more costly energy.
The vote was 219-212, capping months of negotiations and days of intense bargaining among Democrats. Republicans were overwhelmingly against the measure, saying it would cost jobs in the midst of a recession.
