re: That's not the point - I think the goal is to encourage them to find more domestic oil and thus reduce US dependence on foreign oil. Just because they are currently profitable doesn't mean the government SHOULDN'T encourage them to find more domestic oil. The point is that that they already have such windfall profits, that the incremental incentives are not going to make any difference in their total exploration budget. If you throw the same dollars at conservation and efficiency, then you could have a dramatic impact on imports. Subsidies for oil companies???? Its the biggest joke [after Bush of course] for 2005. Its common knowledge that every drilling rig is under contract...........oil at $60 per barrel was enough incentive. If you want to see how vendors who lease out drilling rigs are faring look no further than CHK. Its stock was an easy double this past year. There is no need for a subsidy incentive to get oil companies to drill......in fact, the subsidy is an outright gift to corporations from the gov't. Its another example of how corrupted the GOP is. ted
