#12#_SubaruYou Rookie Author Pennsylvania Posts:35 Points:750 Joined:Apr 2006	Message Posted: Apr 26, 2006 12:17:44 PM Ignore #12#_SubaruYou Report Abuse Why would an oil (energy) company want to develope alternative energy? This country has known the need for alternative energy since the 70's. Tax cuts is not the answer.
#12#_Ahn Rookie Author Jacksonville Posts:7 Points:200 Joined:Oct 2005	Message Posted: Apr 26, 2006 9:31:43 AM Ignore #12#_Ahn Report Abuse The people favoring tax cuts for the energy corporations obviously do not know the enormous tax breaks they are already receiving. My reply is NO TAX CUTS FOR THE CORPS.
jeffersz Sophomore Author Utah Posts:215 Points:37,940 Joined:Apr 2006	Message Posted: Apr 26, 2006 9:27:08 AM Ignore jeffersz Report Abuse Favor! As a consumer I would love to see prices come down, due to new technologies producing clean and endless energy. As an employee for a firm that designs and engineers wind farms for energy companies, I'd be crazy not to.
#12#_Minniestar Rookie Author Hamilton Posts:3 Points:160 Joined:Apr 2006	Message Posted: Apr 26, 2006 9:15:03 AM Ignore #12#_Minniestar Report Abuse Absolutely. The increasing fuel prices will be never ending. If corporations have funds earmarked for alternatvie research and development, they will be inclined to change from oil.

stampnme Sophomore Author London Posts:109 Points:76,675 Joined:May 2004	Message Posted: Mar 20, 2006 7:13:16 AM Ignore stampnme Report Abuse Last time my boss wanted me to make something, I had to work my tail off THEN got a bonus. The government can basically be seen as there boss.. so why should he pay them BEFORE the work is done? If its to convince them to do it.. well thats simple. Developing natural powers means greatly reducing smog, which in turn will save many children from childhood illnesses (asthma for one) and greatly reducing the amount of destroyed vegitation each year due to polutants, to name a few. If THAT isnt enough to convince them, they sure as hell shouldnt recieve a penny!
