Provide source for 34 billion. You forgot to mention how the oil and gas sector contribute over 130 thousand jobs, with accompanying taxes paid. You forgot to mention the corporate taxes paid, the investments made, the royalties paid that come in at tens of billions. You forgot to mention that from farmers on up to big business, everyone gets a tax break, subsidy, allowance for investments and depreciation, and the fact that they created jobs. In fact you pretty much forgot everyone in order to make a false case against oil. Without resource development we would still be driving on dirt roads in most of the country, and you wouldn't have the education and healthcare system that we have. Check on countries without resources for a comparison.
