John McCain along with Oklahoma's oil industry shill - if it snows somewhere then there ain't no global warm'n - Inhoff, lost a fight against the Navy and AirForce. Wednesday by 62-37 the Senate passed an amendment to delete a line in the defense bill prohibiting testing and buying alternative fuels and energy products. The Pentagon has been clamoring for this, and through some Obama directives they have been doing it already to some extent.
Amazingly the two Kansas Republicans and Iowa voted with the Dems. The Koch's are probably looking for someone to run against them already. It's not known why they broke their greasy shackles, maybe to do the right thing, that would be unusual.
McCain and Inhoff grumbled the military should not be messing around with new fangeled hifaluten contraptions anyhow dagnabbit when we got all that there oil.
