\n\u2013\tThe senators who voted for Big Oil\u2019s handouts received on average over four times as much career oil cash as those who voted to end them.
\n\u2013\tOverall, Senate Republicans have taken $23.2 million in oil and gas contributions. Democrats received $6.66 million.
\n\u2013\tSince 2011, Senate Republicans have voted seven times for pro-Big Oil interests and against clean energy three times.”<\/p>\n
