I've said it before and I know that a lot of people disagree with me and laugh at me but I think that a cornerstone of the new energy strategy is going to be in nationalizing parts of the energy industry. The ability to get natural resources developed in the west to supply the east shouldn't be a civil war type of battle. It needs to be viewed on a national scale as opposed to regionally.
I mostly agree with you up to a point and that point is the bolded.

I dont know how you could even suggest that frankly. Considering that one of the main reasons we need this kind of policy and structure is because the Federal structure has failed spectacularly. I mean, we're talking about staggering incompetence and stupidity on an almost unprecedented scale.

What would be the incentive to handing those clowns the keys?

They're the Lion's share of the reason we're in this mess to begin with.
