Here’s Rep. Dennis Kucinich explanation as to why he voted against the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, which passed the House last week:

It sets targets that are too weak, especially in the short term, and sets about meeting those targets through Enron-style accounting methods. It gives new life to one of the primary sources of the problem that should be on its way out — coal — by giving it record subsidies.

It’s worth reading his whole statement.
