Today, the US Senate voted against the energy bill,(S.3044). "The energy package would revoke $17 billion in tax breaks extended to big oil companies like Exxon and slap a 25% windfall profits tax on firms that don't invest in new energy sources."
MAPLight.org's research team revealed that oil producers gave an average of $134,821 to each of the 43 senators who voted 'no.' |
