It worked so well for Mexico.
President Executive Order would be dumb enough to do it.

“Under what authority”?

I don’t think it’s anywhere in the Constitution or elsewhere.

Republics can’t nationalize anything.

When has the government ever run anything efficiently?

Of course.

Nothing like government control of something to destroy it fully and cause as much hardship and harm for the general populace as possible.

And no doubt, access to energy hereafter, will be based on your social credit score, which will largely depend on your willingness to comply with the system.

If they nationalize the energy industry and start a nuclear war with Russia, people might just reelect them in November. Makes perfect sense.

Except they don’t need us to get re-elected, just like biden told us when he said that he didn’t need our votes because they have the best vote fraud system going in place.

They'll survive in their bunkers. For a year or two. Then when they come out they'll find that the economy that made them rich is gone, and they'll be foraging for food like animals. Which they won't know how to do.

Which thought gives me a great deal of satisfaction.

How’d that work out in Venezuela?
Can you even imagine a super incompetent regime like Creep Joe’s actually running oil companies?
Gas will disappear in next to no time.

It’s been reported that the refineries are running at full capacity.

If so, other than complete government control what does nationalizing the industry do? Nothing but slow it down.

We become Mexico, Venezuela, and other country that owns the industry.

And unlike some of these other countries, where you work, you get paid and/or they import workers to do it, the US will have unions dictating everything. Holy moly.

“Go for it..Just as republicans take over and make a slew of new laws PROTECTING OIL industry”

That will all be vetoed by Biden.

I assume since there will be a diesel shortage a food shortage will also hit as groceries stores can’t get deliveries which is why I’m stocking up. Maybe this needs to happen, maybe it’s time democrat/RINO voters feel it in the gut and people are pushed to finally say enough is enough with them and their BS.

At this point I am less and less concerned about the wild eyed calls from Democrats for Communism.

They’re about to lose both houses of Congress which means they won’t have the power to do any of the crazy crap they want.

If they nationalize the oil industry, two things are guaranteed. Gasoline will quadruple in price. And it will become scarce.

Democrats couldn’t drill a water well no less an oil or gas well. Perhaps they could shove a funnel up their collective butts and save the gas within. However they would probably suffer unrepairable brain damage.

Well, for one, we’re going hat in hand to their government begging them to increase oil production.

So a dictatorship in energy to go along with the one in medicine?
Bookends of control.

The deliberate 25 day diesel crisis will be the nationalize banner and will be the answer. The oil industry will be blamed and the government will claim they have no other choice due to national security. It is then that they can shut it down completely
