Not surprised that Republicans turned down the increase in tax on oil companies. Remember, in some convoluted way, this is good for the average American (right, un huh.) Why are the against the tax breaks for alternative energy sources. Got to see them sell that sh-tty load of garbage.

"Separately, Democrats also failed to get Republican support for a proposal to extend tax breaks for wind, solar and other alternative energy development, and for the promotion of energy efficiency and conservation. The tax breaks have either expired or are scheduled to end this year."
