House Republican Whip Roy Blunt (R.) said the bill is a "sham."
“For those who hoped that Democrats’ recent change of rhetoric on energy would mean a change of heart on their long-held opposition to developing America’s energy resources, the bill passed by the House tonight demonstrates that their position on energy hasn’t changed much at all" a statement from his office said.
