The Obama administration proposed a $10/bbl tax on crude
oil to help pay for its plan to create a 21st Century Clean
Transportation System. Officials from national oil and gas associations
immediately said it was a serious mistake.

transportation infrastructure by roughly 50% while reforming the
investments we already make to help reduce carbon pollution, cut oil
consumption, and create new jobs,” the White House said in a Feb. 4 fact sheet.
“The new fee on oil will also encourage American innovation and
leadership in clean technologies to help reshape our transportation
landscape for the decades ahead,” it added. MORE
