There might even come the day when if the lights go out, the private industry suppliers may just decide its not worth their profit sheet to put the lights back on.
That's the big fear in my industry right now. Excessive taxation of non-nationalized oil companies will make it impossible for them to sell enough fuel to meet the demand and still pay thier bills. If that happens they'll just close up shop and sell their equipment and leases to the Saudi, Chinese, Mexican, and assorted South American government-owned oil companies. Having dealt with these assorted government oil companies and seen first-hand their corruption, waste, and bean-counting over engineering, I'd be VERY concerned if this happened. But hopefully someone nearby will be hand-making superpowerful solar cells by then.
Martin, with your deep knowledge and contacts can you give us a little bit of insight into what other companies might also pack up and close shop?
