$32B tax breaks for alternative energy fails in Senate
Edited on Thu Jun-21-07 11:56 AM by RGBolen
WASHINGTON (AP) Senate Republicans have blocked a package of $32 billion in energy tax breaks that would have raised taxes for oil companies.




On edit: Not the bill itself, just this amendment

3. Every American has the power to cut into oil company profits to
punish them. DRIVE LESS. CARPOOL. LIVE WHERE YOU WORK. BICYCLE. TAKE MASS TRANSIT.

When your car wears out and needs replacing, get a Prius. Or a car that can run on biodiesel.

4. No surprise, they are the Party bought and paid for by Big Oil.
They are quite happy to vote to keep America energy dependent on ME oil. Unregulated profits and war profiteering are core values to the Greedy Oil Party.
