Ak4life, 
How will adding cheaper oil to an oversupply add well paying jobs?  Have you heard of supply and demand?  I agree that we need well paying jobs, but as a state we need to look past oil and get more creative.  People with North Slope experience could look towards different industries, like port construction or telecommunications (I'm thinking quintillion) construction.  There are well paying jobs out there, but oil is a shrinking industry.  Sticking our heads in the tar sands won't fix anything.
