Those investments have netted billions for the oil industry. In Alaska we give the oil industry far more than other states and countries do.  It isn't about being anti-oil, its about anti-greed and a fair shake.

 I hear a lot about how costly it is for those poor oil companies to help us ignorant Alaskans and at the same time all the information they refer to is 'confidential' and not to be examined.

The higher the cost of oil the more Alaskans are squeezed for gasoline, heating fuel and aviation fuel.

The lower the cost of oil the less money we receive from the oil industry and the more we pay out in tax credits and incentives. It just doesn't wash.
