So, the implication is that if the GOA can't manage it well, it should be given away? Kind of a mismanagement fine, with proceeds to big oil? Given the auditor-general's report, we've already been paying that fine for years.

Once the bucks are in the treasury, I've at least got a chance at seeing them spent to my benefit, or to the public good in some way. Please, though, no more ralph-bucks (eddies-readies)?

Within the next 30 years, there won't be any fossil fuel burning vehicles.The price of oil will come down dramatically and the major consumer will be the manufacturing industry. During that time frame,prices will remain steady as any supposed increases in demand will be offset by a global concern to go ''green'' The governnent and oil companies revenues will both fall. Anyone want to hold onto any oil stocks?
