Discuss as:  In a squeaker, House passes energy bill  From NBC's
Domenico Montanaro and Mark Murray The House passed the
conentious energy/climate change bill, formally called the
American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, by a razor-thin
219-212 margin.  Video: President Obama explains that the energy
legislation passed by the House of Representatives will help
America create jobs, ensure clean air, and move toward energy
independence.  The vote came right down to the wire and its
outlook was uncertain in the hours leading up to the floor vote.
Democrats needed 218 votes to pass the bill, so this appears to
be a bit of protecting particularly vulnerable Democrats -- as
the House passed it with just enough.  Now, the heavy lifting
moves to the Senate. And it's not going to be easy. It will
likely be reworked before it eventually comes to a vote after
the July 4th recess in the other chamber.
