Rather than encouraging our Operators here in the U.S. it will simply discourage them from participating and in turn make us more dependent on foreign supplies. We are all for weaning ourselves from the consumption of natural resources as a long term goal but it\'s going to take time . The tax proposal can and will eliminate domestic exploration immediately if it goes through leaving us more vulnerable than ever to our trade \"partners\". More taxes is not the answer at this time! Millions of U.S. jobs are at stake merely for the sake of punishing \"big oil\" for the sake of public opinion.
