参议院两党许可法案周一以压倒性票数推进,但关键障碍依然存在。

The Senate's bipartisan permitting bill advanced in a lopsided vote on Monday, but key hurdles lie ahead. Why it matters:

为何重要:该立法可能对美国各地能源项目的建设方式产生深远影响。

The legislation could have far-reaching consequences for how energy projects get built across the U.S.

周一表决的几个要点:

A few takeaways from Monday's vote:

大比分在政治上呈现一边倒。以 73 票对 25 票推进法案,“与联合提案人、参议员谢莉·摩尔·卡皮托(共和党-西弗吉尼亚州)预期的一样好,甚至略好”,她在国会大厦告诉记者。

The big margin was politically lopsided. The 73-25 split to advance the bill "was as good or a little bit better" than what co-author Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) was expecting, she told reporters in the Capitol.

  • 共和党方面 51 票赞成、1 票反对,仅参议员迈克·朗兹(南达科他州)投了反对票。

• The GOP split was 51-1 in favor, with only Sen. Mike Rounds (S.D.) voting no.

  • 21 名民主党参议员和缅因州独立参议员安格斯·金投了赞成票,而 23 名民主党参议员和独立参议员伯尼·桑德斯投了反对票,反对推进法案进入全面辩论阶段。

• 21 Democrats and Maine independent Sen. Angus King voted yes, while 23 Dems and independent Sen. Bernie Sanders were against advancing the bill toward full debate. It was tentative.

态度暧昧。参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默(民主党-纽约州)随后发表声明称,他对该法案有“未解决的顾虑”,将“通过修正案努力解决”。

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in a statement afterward that he has "outstanding concerns" with the bill that he'll "fight to address" through amendments.

  • 仅投暧昧赞成票的不止他一人。例如,参议员凯瑟琳·科尔特斯·马斯特(民主党-内华达州)反对最终通过,除非取消对《国家历史保护法》的修改,理由是涉及部落关切。

• He's not alone in only a tentative yes vote. For instance, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) is against final passage unless changes to the National Historic Preservation Act are jettisoned, citing tribal concerns.

  • 参议员丽莎·穆尔科斯基(共和党-阿拉斯加)处境类似。

• Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) is in a similar place.

气候鹰派对决气候鹰派。在气候变化问题上最直言不讳的民主党参议员在表决中分道扬镳。

Climate hawk vs. climate hawk. The most outspoken Senate Democrats on climate change split on the vote.

  • 参议员布赖恩·沙茨(民主党-夏威夷)与联合提案人谢尔登·怀特豪斯(民主党-罗德岛州)和马丁·海因里希(民主党-新墨西哥州)一道支持该措施。

• Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) joined coauthors Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) in backing the measure.

  • 但参议员杰夫·默克利(民主党-俄勒冈州)、埃德·马基(民主党-马萨诸塞州)以及桑德斯均投了反对票。

• But Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and Ed Markey (D-Mass.), along with Sanders, all voted no.

关注时间表。怀特豪斯承诺将进行“非常充分”的修正案程序。但参议院眼下面临跛脚鸭会期日程,众议院仍需对最终形成的文本采取行动。

Watch the clock. Whitehouse pledged a "very healthy" amendment process. But the Senate is now up against the lame duck calendar, and the House would still need to act on whatever emerges.

  • 此外,任何修改都需要在政治上穿针引线:既要保持民主党支持,又不能流失太多共和党票。

• Plus, any changes would need to thread a political needle of maintaining Democratic support without losing too many Republicans.

气候议题的政治吸引力已下降。海因里希和白宫在投票前的新闻发布会上强调了可负担性、数据中心问责制和就业问题,随后宣传了该法案对电力行业排放的限制。

Climate's cachet has fallen. Heinrich and Whitehouse, at a pre-vote press conference, emphasized affordability, data center accountability and jobs before touting power sector emissions curbs from the bill.

  • 但白宫也试图安抚气候和环境组织。

• But Whitehouse also sought to reassure climate and environmental organizations.

  • “这项法案是我们气候和环境愿景的下限,而非上限,我们期待与民主党的大多数席位一起努力成就大事,”他在国会大厦说。

• "This bill is the floor, not the ceiling, of our climate and environmental aspirations, and we look forward to working to accomplish big things with our big Democratic majorities," he said in the Capitol.

总统

President

特朗普是个不确定因素。在周一投票前不久,他评论说不会批准风力涡轮机,同时重申对该法案的全力支持,这一表态迅速传遍国会大厦。

Trump is a wild card. comments shortly before Monday's vote that he would not approve wind turbines, while reiterating his full support for the bill, rocketed around the Capitol.

  • 白宫重申,总统“百分之百”支持该法案。

• And the White House reaffirmed that the president "stands 100%" behind the bill.

  • 白宫在一份声明中说,法案的成功取决于特朗普政府官员“让风力涡轮机运转起来,将可负担的能源送入电网”,并且在最终通过之前需要取得进展。

• The bill's success depends on Trump officials "getting wind turbines up and spinning to get affordable energy on the grid," and progress is needed before final passage, Whitehouse said in a statement.

我们正在关注:陆续提出的修正案,以及分歧严重的众议院中的政治动态。

What we're watching: Proposed amendments as they roll in, but also the politics in the closely divided House.

  • 众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯(民主党-纽约州)上周批评了该法案,并呼吁加强与党团成员的沟通。

• House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) criticized the bill last week and called for more engagement with his caucus.

  • 周一被问及参议院共同提案人的修订是否回应了他的关切时,杰弗里斯告诉记者,仍在审查中。

• Asked Monday whether the Senate co-authors' revisions addressed his concerns, Jeffries told reporters that it's still under review.
