as Russell Feingold, Robert Byrd, Daniel Akaka, and Patrick Leahy along with Independent Jim Jeffords voted against the bill. The Wall Street Journal's editorial page called his vote, in context with his earlier statement, "Reid's "mission accomplished" moment". Reid supported a constitutional amendment to prevent flag desecration. However, Reid criticized Senate Republicans for bringing up anti-desecration legislation, calling it one of "the 'pet' issues of the right wing". Death penalty Reid strongly supported use of the death penalty, having voted in favor of limiting death penalties appeals and executing criminals who were minors when they committed their crime. Energy policy Reid supported legislation that would cut $15 billion in tax breaks for large oil companies and put the money toward renewable energy sources. In an op-ed to the Reno Gazette Journal, Reid wrote, "I am working on a bipartisan energy bill that will create thousands of Nevada jobs, save consumers money, address global warming, and make our country safer. We can do that by reducing our reliance on oil and investing in the renewable energy sources that are abundant in our state." The advocacy group "Campaign for America's Future" gave him a 100% rating from 2005 to 2006. However, he was criticized to be one a main culprit for the failure of the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference, as the Democrats' majority in Congress during his Senate leadership had not been used to enact climate-protection legislation prior to the conference. ENN Mojave Energy controversy In 2012, Reid applied pressure on NV Energy to support a solar power plant, proposed by ENN Mojave Energy, to be located near Laughlin, Nevada. NV Energy declined, stating that it has met its renewable energy requirements. The project was initially envisioned to supply renewable energy to California, but is unable due to a regulation in the California's Renewable Portfolio Standard. Reid's son, Rory Reid, is one of ENN Mojave Energy's attorneys. The project is located in Laughlin, Nevada. ENN Energy said they will invest up to $10 billion in the US throughout the next decade, adding thousands of jobs to the United States and Nevada's economy. The project is highly supported by Clark County commissioners and Governor Sandoval. Governor Sandoval toured ENN headquarters in September 2012, showing bipartisan support for the project. Don't Ask, Don't Tell Reid supported the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell which was a hot topic in politics during President
