The Republican-majority House today passed an appropriations bill for the Energy Department and related energies calling for $30.6 billion in spending, about $6 billion less than what President Obama proposed.

The House also voted to ban use of funds to implement federal light bulb standards passed in 2007. Republicans say the rules would outlaw 100-watt incandescent bulbs in favor of compact fluorescent lights.

The appropriations bill, H.R. 2354, slices $1 billion from spending. It passed on a 219-196 vote. All but 21 Republicans voted for the bill, along with 10 Democrats, The Hill reports.

The White House argued that the cuts would jeopardize economic growth, job creation and clean energy.

The legislation would redirect $1 billion from high-speed rail projects to flood relief along the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers and cut $491 million from renewable energy spending, the Associated Press reports.

Some House Republicans wanted even deeper cuts, but those amendments were defeated, The Hill explains. One, proposed by Rep. Sandy Adams, R-Fla., sought to block funds to maintain the kids section of the Department of Energy's website.

The bill heads to the Democratic-controlled Senate, where it's likely to be revised.
