Is That a Lawmaker in Your Pocket, or ... ? A breakdown of the renewables vote in the Senate 15 Mar 2002 One day after declining to support tougher fuel-efficiency standards, the Senate yesterday voted down a measure that would have required 20 percent of the nation's electricity to be produced from wind, solar, and other renewable energy sources by 2020. Currently, less than 2 percent of U.S. electricity comes from renewable resources. The measure that could have changed all that, which was sponsored by Jim Jeffords (I-Vt.), was defeated by a disheartening 70 votes to 29. How did your senators vote on Amendment 3017? Odds are, badly -- but see for yourself. Amendment 3017 Yeas Max Baucus (D-Mont.) Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) Lincoln Chafee (R-R.I.) Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.)
