Clinton on Clean Energy

Aug 30, 2007
Solution: 

Clinton wants companies to obtain 20 percent of their energy from renewable sources by 2020. But it’s her Strategic Energy Fund that’s the cornerstone of her renewable energy platform. It would eliminate current tax breaks on oil companies and for two years charge a fee on profits that exceed a profit baseline from between 2000 and 2004. Oil companies could mitigate this fee by investing in alternative energy technologies. She says the fund would generate $50 billion for cleaner energy.
