Give a tax break to the oil companies that is crazy! Give a tax break to the greedy oil companies.
Point Thompson was a lease held by Exxon for 30 years with out producing or allowing another companies develop. Yes we need more drilling but first we need to make the oil companies produce.
Alaska could have Geothermal with oil production but Sara has only focused as governor on an Oil pipeline the we had to Pay a company 5hundread million state dollars to get them to start the permitting process no requirement to actually build. We Alaskans are paying astronomical heating bills. I will vote Obama. As far as kitchen table sara is someone you have for dinner go to the park with and have a beer with. For major issues she and Mccain don’t have it.
