Obama: Right now, four billion of your tax dollars subsidize the oil industry every year. Four billion dollars. Anyone who tells you we can drill our way out of this problem doesn’t know what they’re talking about – or isn’t telling the truth. You can see on the chart behind me, since I took office, our dependence on foreign oil has gone down every year. Obama says using less oil is the "only solution" to the problem of high gas prices. That is a fact. POTUS on oil tax subsidies: “That’s outrageous. It’s inexcusable. And I’m asking Congress; eliminate this oil industry giveaway right away.” “I’m not gonna cede the wind or solar or battery industry to China or Germany.”—the President on his commitment to American clean energy.
