Kerry, the Democrats' designated crusader for clean energy reform and tough emissions regulations, said through a spokesman he was not opposed to the substance of the amendment, but rather the timing at which it was introduced.
"Senator Kerry supports closing tax loopholes for the oil and gas industry," Kerry's chief of staff David Wade e-mailed Raw Story, in response to a query. "However, the tax extenders bill is not the right vehicle for this reform because we need it included in comprehensive energy and climate legislation so they can help pay for the new tax incentives and investments for clean energy we are proposing."
