Obama calls for ending breaks in oil, gas and coal

From the Chron:

Obama is calling for the elimination of a dozen tax breaks for oil, gas and coal companies to raise $46 billion over 10 years. These funds would be diverted to help pay for putting 1 million electric vehicles on the road by 2025, doubling the share of electricity from clean energy by 2035 and increasing the efficiency of energy use in buildings by 20 percent.


- More from the Hill.
- And of course the oil industry isn't happy about it.
