13.5 billion in tax breaks for oil companies
Put this ad on the air
There was a vote to decide if $13.5 billion in tax breaks for oil companies should go into oil alternatives, like solar and wind. 60 votes were needed to prevail, and 59 of them were in. But John McCain ducked the vote. As a result, instead of powering millions of homes with clean energy and building next-generation solar technology, ExxonMobil and other companies are getting billions in tax breaks at a time when they’re already making record profits.
