So the consumers have to pick up the tab for a failing commodity?
How about we focus on diversifying our economy. Instead, for every dollar that Oil goes over $90 bucks a barrel, O&G producers need to pay an extra royalty which gets distributed to non-oil and gas companies.
This would attract all industries when times are good. Not just the ones that can benefit from Oil and it's not like O&G companies are going to close shop when there is +90 dollar oil to be had.
