This is an energy conservation bill, not lets get nightshade to pay 5 cents less for gas. There's a lot more to it than that.
Yeah there are tax breaks to gas companies like Exxon who made record incomes of something like 18 billion dollars last year.
Don't give me that bs about the US trying to go full steam into the search for alternative fuels, if that were the case the gas companies would be getting hit for more tax, and that money would go directly into breaks for companies producing solar, and other alternatives to fossil consumption.
