Washington, DC,
December 18, 2007
U.S. Representative Rick Larsen (WA-02) voted today with a majority of his colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives to pass landmark energy legislation that will increase the fuel efficiency of cars and trucks for the first time in 32 years to save consumers money, reduce our dependence on foreign oil and cut greenhouse gas emissions to reduce global warming. The Energy Independence and Security Act (H.R. 6) passed the House by a vote of 314 to 100 and will be sent to the President, who is expected to sign the bill into law tomorrow.
