Read the piece and agree with two of three points; we need to give companies permission to go full *bore* on oil exploration and drilling--the Gulf, offshore everywhere, Alaska, inside the Arctic Circle, Bakken Oil Reserve, etc. But, the oil companies need to do it on their own--no tax incentives, no taxpayer money to subsidize *anything* having to do with oil acquisition. When these oil companies rake in $$$Billions in profits each year (EXXON made like $60 Billion in *Profit* last year!), they can spend some of it to do their exploration and drilling.
