Raiding the People's Money: How the House Energy Bill (H.R. 4) Subsidizes Energy Industries

House Committee on Government Reform
Special Investigations Division
Abstract
The Special Investigations Division of the House Committee on Government Reform produced this report critiquing H.R. 4, the energy bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in 2001. The analysis contends that the oil and gas industry would be the primary beneficiaries of the bill, receiving substantial tax breaks and subsidies. The report states that H.R. 4 lacks sufficient support for new energy sources, energy conservation, and renewable energy, focusing predominantly on traditional energy sectors.
