Bernie Sanders' Latest Green Move - End Tax Exemptions for Oil & Gas Industry - Planet Green: "He introduced legislation that would ban offshore drilling at a time when the need for such a ban couldn't be more obvious, yet is still being debated in Washington.
Now, he's pushing to end $35 billion worth of tax breaks currently benefiting the oil and gas industry. Sanders' website cites the Environmental Law Institute: between 2002 and 2008, the U.S. provided more than $70 billion in fossil fuel subsidies, compared to only $12 billion for wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and other renewable energy."
