Senate Shills for Big Oil

"One of the major shortcomings in last year's admirable energy bill was its failure to extend vital tax credits to producers of wind, solar and other renewable fuels. This was entirely the doing of the Senate, which caved in to the oil companies and their White House friends." (full story)

Someone ask Hillary how much she made in her Exxon holdings - which she only recently sold. Or maybe they could ask if she is taking money from George Soros, one of Halliburton's biggest stock holders. And let us not forget the money made by the Gore family all the years they held Occidental Petro. Thre are lots of oil men in the republican party but do some research and you will find plenty in the Democrat party as well. Sadly, it is all about money.

I am sad that its so much of the same things to keep America dependent on mega money utilities and OPEC and other oil monopolies, which are the same people we send our troops to fight. We could have put much of those monies into developing our own energy empires not foreign based. Clean and renewable solar,wind and hydrogen based.
