Where are you coming from? Oil workers have already lost their jobs, or at least a great many of them, along with teachers, borough and state workers. We are already feeling the lack of jobs in many parts of Alaska. Sorry but oil will NOT come back as it was in the past and support the entire, or even a good percentage, of the Alaska budget. The world is changing its energy use and needs and Alaska needs to use what funds it does have to support PUBLIC education, our fisheries, tourism and other industries. We need to look at reducing our need for oil and becoming the center of research and development for the renewable energy...current, tidal, wind, solar and storage. We need to beef up our communication network so we can develop clean industries and compete with other places for companies like Google. Cut the darn oil tax credits!
