We should get rid of "tax breaks" altogether and let the market decide which sources of energy have a future. Neither the existing oil companies nor the pie in the sky energy companies should have subsidies. Whatever works will succeed.
I also find it an interesting use of logic - to heavily tax, give some tax relief in some areas although taxes paid go up, and then call that relief a tax break. As Shakespeare wrote: "A rose by any other name would sell as sweet."
