How much money would be saved if we quit subsidizing the oil industry?  
I hate how Alaska has given these companies breaks because they threatened to go away because it hurts them financially to drill here, then turn around and flaunt the profits of the oil. 
Yes I know the last couple of years there have been changes; oil companies going belly up and pulling out. But whenough is enough, enough? 
Alaskans are being hurt by this. People out of jobs and needing the dividend to help survive and now that is being taken away. 
How sad our stateam has become.
