Heller Hates Sunshine, Too

Zeke is scratching his head.
Heller is so out of touch, he floats.

Our Congressman Dean “90% Bushie” Heller voted this week to reject moving tax breaks from Oil Companies to Solar and Renewable Energy sources. READ MORE
Now Zeke ain’t no expert on Tax Law, but I believe that a big reason behind giving tax credits to an industry is to encourage it’s growth.
So, I guess Dean “Coal Plant” Heller doesn’t really want the Renewable Energy Industry to grow, or even get started. Even though HIS DISTRICT has the largest and most successful Geothermal program in the USA. Even though Nevada has PLENTY OF SPACE and PLENTY OF SUNSHINE for solar projects. And even though no one will argue that oil reserves WILL RUN OUT at some point, Dean “I (heart) Texaco” Heller would rather give TAX BREAKS TO OIL COMPANIES along with 160 other Brainiacs in the House(most from oil-land TX and OK).

Heller says that stopping the tax breaks to the Oilys will cause pump prices to go up. Well, from what Zeke has seen, lately EVERYTHING makes pump prices go up! Hurricanes, war, refinery fires, the stock market, cold weather, hot weather, summer driving season, blah blah blah.

Ya know what makes prices go down? LESS DEMAND. (Zeke heard some professor dude say that once). If we remove some of the demand for oil by getting power from somewhere else, the price should go down.

Zeke thought Republicans were supposed to be good at this economic crap. I guess they are really just good at helping their buddies at the oil companies get even richer.
