something something NATIONALIZE ENERGY PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION etc etc
We did that once with PetroCanada.
yeah, and it was great until the "privatize it because that will (something something) free market (something) efficiency" etc.
And then the government will be under pressure to give gas away almost for free, since they can?
This doesn't sound like a great idea from a climate perspective.
we've had nationalized energy before, and I distinctly remember it not being free of charge.
If it sold gas at the exact same market rate, sure, I guess that would be fine, if a little redundant.
Lots of third world countries sell state gas for a nominal fee, and Alberta used to have super cheap province-supplied gas for farmers.
