The money then could be used for development of Hydropower. I think that the govenment should take all the tax breaks from the oil companys.

I think you're wrong about Alaska, but more importantly, the point of the article was to poke fun at oil companies (in particular Exxon) for continuing to expect taxpayers to fund exploration/research when 1) they have more than enough money to do it themselves 2) fossil fuels are clearly on the way out 3) it clearly benefits you, me, and the economy vastly more to invest government funds in renewables research and 4) they insist on pretending to be upstanding republicans (most of them) while asking for welfare-type handouts.. it's just ironic and kinda hilarious if you ask me!

CNN is a poor substitute for objective news. 2. A single lobbyist does not account for the 'sensational' headline to this story. 3. Is this proof that it does not matter what the administration does - if it increases incentives for exploration, it's bad; if it cuts incentives for exploration, it's bad. 4. Not exploring the 2,000 acres of Alaska for an additional North American source of crude oil while our society develops alternatives is criminal. The citizens of Alaska want to do it. The baboons in Washington wouldn't know a how to do it, so they pander to their misguided lobbyists. Isn't it fun being a critc? 1. CNN is a poor substitute for objective news.
