your statements about nationalization are simply false empirically, loquitor. one of these days, maybe you'll look at something of how western european economies actually operate.
of course the hayek/liberatarian ideology provides you with no particular reason to engage with the messiness of the actually existing world, so i do not expect that you'll do any research and so am not going to waste my time providing links to information that is self-evident to this extent.
but you might think about the french nuclear industry, it's not hard.
you can do it.
o i know that the neoliberal set thinks all kinds nasty thoughts about france--but in other contexts you argue for nuclear power, and yet market-y america doesn't have it and highly nationalized france does.

the way this thread is pitched is so narrowly focused that a coherent discussion about oil corporations and by extension american energy policy is close to impossible, so i'll just let the string of affirmations of good faith on the part of those nice corporate citizens continue undisturbed by any reality, since they do not admit of it a priori.

if you want to talk about oil, catch me in another thread.
have fun, lads.
