As Sen. Feingold wrote recently in an email:

"during debate on H.R. 6, I supported a proposal to repeal nearly $13 billion in tax breaks for oil and gas companies over ten years and use that money, among other things, to provide multiyear extensions of tax credits for wind and solar projects. I was disappointed the Senate narrowly rejected a motion to include this tax plan in the bill."

And you point out:

"The House version pays for it by taking away tax breaks to the oil and gas industry -- which can't pass the Senate. The Senate version doesn't include payment mechanisms -- which is unappealing to most of the House, especially the Blue Dog Democrats."

A huge campaign from the grassroots is needed to impell subsidy diversion from the old energy economy  directly to investors, homeowners and farmers, in the new energy (and agricultural)economy.

Senators have to know this is a vital stimulus package needed right now.  Checks issued to solar panel power producers next week!  Right out of the pocket of the corrupt bushco exxonmob.  hehey.
