“Do you want a clean energy revolution?” he asked.

“Yes,” they cried.

“Are you going to [do] that with us?”

“Yes!” they replied.

“Then we’re going to get it done,” Udall concluded.

According to the Twitter feed of Clean Energy Works, a new environmental group, Udall said, “American innovation can unleash an abundance of clean energy resources.”

At least one Republican wasn’t happy with the legislation, according to the Washington Post. Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander said in a statement that instead of the CEJAPA bill, “We should build 100 new nuclear plants, electrify half our cars and trucks, expand exploration offshore for American natural gas and oil, and double funding for energy research and development.”

President Barack Obama said the White House “is deeply committed to passing a bill that creates new American jobs and the clean energy incentives that foster innovation.” He also applauded Kerry and Boxer for writing the bill.

For his part, U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman told the Hill, “I’ve worked very well with Lamar [Alexander of Tennessee]. We have some of the same interests. We worked on the America Competes Act in the last Congress.”

His fellow New Mexico Democrat, U.S. Sen. Tom Udall, who is just beginning his Senate career after a decade in the House, said, “The members I feel comfortable working with are John Thune [of South Dakota] — I’ve traveled with him to Iraq, so I’ve got a good relationship with him. Sen. [John] McCain, who I’m working with on a couple of things. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe [both of Maine]. I think they all desire to reach out to the other side.”

For most, the ones who were perceived to be the most bipartisan were also those they worked most closely with; those who serve on the same committees.

U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), the ranking member on the Senate Energy Natural Resources Committee which Bingaman chairs, said Bingaman “is wonderful to work with.” She cited their work together “on an initiative regarding the Strategic Petroleum Reserve” and how Bingaman brings in experts to help craft legislation instead of just writing it himself.

“We may come to different conclusions at the end of the day, but he involves me in the process and I’m part of it,” Murkowski said. “It’s totally great.”

Alexander also said he enjoyed working with Bingaman, with whom he worked with on the America Competes Act.

Alexander added, “We created a bipartisan breakfast which means almost every Tuesday morning, and the reason we worked together is the same thing: We had the same goal, to create an opportunity for senators to get together across party lines on a regular basis.”

Overall, U.S. Sen.Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts is the easiest Democrat to work with and U.S. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine is the easiest Republican to work with by members on the other side of the aisle. Alternatively, U.S. Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Jim Bunning (R-KY) were the most partisan and hardest to work with by members of the other party.

And Bunning probably showed why with his answer to Roll Call:

“No.”
