Nationalization is the only answer to the problem /s
The feds won’t allow another refinery to be built. They cut back on leases. They stopped issuing drilling permits. They tax the companies profits and tax the end product. They demonize the oil companies and attack people who use fuels.
They are awfully close to nationalization already.
I hate to tell you but that is far from being sarcasm. It is a viable solution to nearly all on the left. In the revolutionary end times we appear to be in, nationalization seems the next step.
Australia is nationalizing their energy industry.
It is taking the Venezuela route.
“windfall profits” tax is a near certainty; and when that fails, as it inevitably will, nationalization will indeed appear on the horizon. If the November elections don’t bring a sea change, we are done for and not that far into the future.
Have to federalize in order to professionalize.
