Senate blocks debate of clean energy tax credits Risking the wrath of Reuters:

The U.S. Senate on Tuesday blocked debate of a bill to offer about $17.7 billion in tax incentives for consumers to build renewable energy sources like windmills and solar arrays, and buy plug-in cars that run on electricity rather than gasoline. source

That just sucks, and I wonder what their justification is. It does involve a lot of money, including $7 billion over 10 years to extend renewable energy credits. But couldn't we offset that by reducing the subsidies we pay the oil companies? I mean, it's rather obvious they no longer need the taxpayer's help and they produce record profits quarter-after-quarter.

Politics: Obama's Father's Day Speech I love that Obama is willing to say these things to a black audience. But it applies to all of us, black or white, father or mother. ( Jun 16 2008, 09:30:09 AM ) Politics Permalink
