The oil companies don't want us to lose our dependency on oil. We need to learn and use other sources of energy. Mass transportation would be wonderful in this country but can't seem to function like it does in Europe. They make it work because they have been paying high dollars for energy for years. Congress has backed the car companies and oil companies every time they want something their way. Such as better gas mileage cars. Giving tax breaks to oil companies is a joke. All the tax breaks for the ordinary tax payer to pursue more conservative means of energy consumption disappeared. We are a country of greedy useage.
