Alaska has a profit sharing deal with its residents so they always get some cash for the exploitation of lands.

The rest of the US is a different story.

Wyoming has mineral severance taxes to the point that there is no income tax in the state. Over 50% of the state's revenue comes from mineral severance. There is also a permanent trust there.

Colorado gets something like $100 million per year from mineral severance.

I'd be shocked if other oil producing states didn't collect severance taxes. What state are you referring to that doesn't collect anything?

Ironically, there's only one state without a mineral severance tax, and it's California.

Wow, today I learned something. I am shocked that deep red states (Alaska, Wyoming, Texas) tax something that a deep blue state (California) does not.
