From the Times:
House Republicans pushed through the legislation, which they call the Lower Energy Costs Act, almost entirely along party lines on a vote of 225 to 204. It has no chance of passing or even being considered in the Democratic-controlled Senate — where Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the majority leader, has called it “dead on arrival” — or being signed by Mr. Biden, whose advisers issued a veto threat against the bill on Monday, calling it “a thinly veiled license to pollute.” But Republicans have made the measure their top legislative priority and pitched it as the first major policy plank in their newly won House majority's agenda.
