We`re not them. Norway has a trillion dollars in the bank my friend.  We should be so lucky.
 When you can live off the interest of that large a savings/investment fund (small population) good on you.  It`s a nation that has made sure it received it`s fair share of it`s resources as we should, by taxing oil on the net return, not the price of a barrel.  And no hiding anymore from public auditing of POD`s (plans of development).
  It`s a finite resource and Alaska needs to be diligent in receiving it`s fiscal value. We cannot do that without undoing all the secrecy statutes we put in place OURSELVES, at the Alaska oil cartel`s behest, not ours.  
State auditor Lenny Dees said he`s unaware of any federal law preventing prospective oil outfits in Alaska if they want the tax credits later on after production starts, from sharing with the people of Alaska just what they are doing with the money and what is the plan of development`s value to the state that`s attached to the credit`s value.
