Daniel,  We are not all fossil fuel hatters although many of us believe we need to continue to work toward more sustainable energy resources that reduce our carbon footprint.  I for one would not be apposed to leaving some credits in place for smaller players in the industry as long as they are reasonable and have strict environmental and local hire provisions in them. It just doesn't make sense to me to be giving credits to the majors whose worth are hundreds of times that of Alaska and in turn have the ability to weather the down turn in prices without hundreds of millions of dollars in credits from the state.  Exxon Mobil alone has reserves worth $1.4 trillion at $50.00 oil and $5 billion in cash and short term investments on hand and they say they need State credits in order to survive this period of lower prices? I  don't think so.
