Tell Congress to End Tax Breaks for Big Oil!

There are many difficult decisions to be made by Congress as they work to reduce the budget deficit. But cutting $40 billion in subsidies and tax breaks for the oil and gas industry should not be difficult. Believe it or not, every year American taxpayers gives four billion dollars in outdated tax breaks and subsidies to one of the most profitable industries on the planet. These loopholes, some of which have been in place for nearly a century, are no longer necessary; in fact, high prices at the pump are reflected in the industry’s record profits in 2010 and 2011. These subsidies and tax breaks for big oil waste taxpayer money, contribute to the federal deficit and lock the United States into a dirty energy future. It is time to eliminate these handouts to a mature and profitable industry. Urge your Congressperson to end tax breaks for Big Oil. CLICK HERE TO HELP! Form letter content from the link above: For nearly a century, oil companies have enjoyed generous subsidies from the federal government at the expense of American taxpayers. Originally intended to support a nascent, homegrown industry, these tax breaks have outlived their purpose, persisting in an age when multi-national oil companies comprise the world's largest and most profitable corporations. The past several years have seen oil companies post record profits to the backdrop of skyrocketing crude oil prices. Despite facing a looming federal deficit the federal government continues to subsidize these companies by more than $4 billion each year. Unnecessary tax breaks contribute to the federal debt and waste taxpayer dollars. I urge you to support efforts to eliminate gas subsidies, and to cut these handouts to the oil industry.  The Joint Economic Committee concluded in a recent report that ending tax breaks for the oil industry will have a negligible impact on both consumer prices and domestic production. Oil subsidies have failed to protect consumers from spikes in gasoline prices. By eliminating these loopholes, we stand only to save American taxpayers billions of dollars a year and encourage investment in alternative energy technologies.  Please follow President Obama's recommendations to repeal oil and gas industry tax breaks.

TOKYO (AP) – The tsunami-devastated Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant has reached a stable state of "cold shutdown" and is no longer leaking substantial amounts of radiation, Japan's prime minister announced Friday.

Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's announcement marks a milestone nine months after the March 11 tsunami sent three reactors at the plant into meltdowns in the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl.

But experts noted the plant remains vulnerable to more problems and it will take decades to decommission.

"The reactors at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant have reached a state of cold shutdown," Noda told a Cabinet meeting.

The government's official endorsement of the claim by Tokyo Electric Power Co. that the reactors have reached cold shutdown status is a necessary step toward revising evacuation zones around the plant and focusing efforts from simply stabilizing the facility to actually starting the arduous process of shutting it down.

But its assessment has some important caveats...... continued
