Releasing the high priced reserves and replacing them with low priced reserves is not bad for the tax payer, it is terrible for the oil companies.

If they sell oil they bought at $100 at $80, then buy oil to replace it at $80, what did that do?

Sorry, but that’s not how it works. Oil, like stock, is worth what it is sold for today - not what it was bought for last week.
