I'm fine with looking for more reserves, but not on my dime. I say get rid of the special tax breaks for the oil industry, or give the same breaks to the alternative energy industry. But the republicans in congress will fight tooth and nail to preserve these special treats for the oil industry. After all, where do you think their campaign money comes from?
