    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``End Polluter Welfare Act of 2013''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) President Obama joined other world leaders from the 
        Group of Twenty in pledging to phase out wasteful fossil-fuel 
        subsidies;
            (2) the Environmental Law Institute found that from 2002 
        through 2008, Federal fossil-fuel subsidies in the United 
        States totaled over $72,000,000,000, while Federal renewable-
        energy investments totaled $12,200,000,000;
            (3) according to Taxpayers for Common Sense, the 5 largest 
        oil corporations have made more than $1,000,000,000,000 in 
        profits during the past decade;
            (4) according to the Center for American Progress, the 5 
        largest oil corporations posted more than $70,000,000,000 in 
        profits in just the first 3 quarters of 2013;
            (5) according to the Center for Responsive Politics, the 
        entire oil and gas industry spent $105,000,000 on lobbying in 
        the first 3 quarters of 2013, which was an effective investment 
        in protecting their extraordinary tax loopholes and subsidies; 
        and
            (6) taxpayers in the United States should not be 
        subsidizing fossil fuel companies in a period of record debt.
