Reply #219: Gore did, but the senate unanimously opposed him

The Byrd-Hagel resolution passed the senate 95-0. Not a single person voted against it. You are right the actual Kyoto treaty never made it but the Byrd-Hygel resolution is the reason why. So I just don't see how you could go from the senate voting 95-0 for this resolution and only a few years later having a huge renewable energy program the size of the manhattan project. It simply is not realistic. Obama couldn't get something as simple as a cap and trade program (which the republicans ran on in 2008) done with 60 senators.

I just realized I've been mispelling kyoto the entire time /DoH
