Obama authored 4 bills on energy including:
• S.1151 : A bill to provide incentives to the auto industry to accelerate efforts to develop more energy-efficient vehicles to lessen dependence on oil;
•S.115 : A bill to suspend royalty relief, to repeal certain provisions of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, and to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to repeal certain tax incentives for the oil and gas industry;
•S.133 : A bill to promote the national security and stability of the economy of the United States by reducing the dependence of the United States on oil through the use of alternative fuels and new technology, and for other purposes.
Co-sponsored: Harkin, Lugar and Salazar
Clinton had only one bill that I could find that addressed the same issue, S.701 : A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to impose a temporary oil profit fee and to use the proceeds of the fee collected to provide a Strategic Energy Fund and expand certain energy tax incentives, and for other purposes.
Co-sponsored: NONE
Obama wants to “repeal certain tax incentives for the oil and gas industry”.
Clinton sees the answer in a “temporary oil profit fee” and to “expand certain energy tax incentives” for alternative energy.
Clinton seems to be in bed with the corporations.
Obama is working for the people.
