-I- don't scream about corps working for the government, I happen to like that system, provided there are enough checks to keep the money-flow from the government to the private sector under control. What I don't like is corporations paying nearly NO taxes, while they get the benefit of, amongst other things : using public infrastructure, and workers educated with government money.
YOUR problem is that your country has a corporatism problem. The problem you describe above isn't really connected to AGW, but a fundamental problem with your democracy.
furthermore that : "Al Gore, Goldman Sachs, their friends on Wall Street" --> how are these people environmentalists ???? the environmentalists would like taxes on anything put out into the environment, plain and simple, not a complex system in the hands of backers.
As a physicist can you explain how 1/the green-house-effect of CO2 and 2/a 35% rise of CO2 concentrations since the beginning of the industrial revolution, can not lead to AGW ?
What goes for 'big government' also goes for 'big corporation'. Trouble is: you cant vote against big corp. And currently, big corp is more powerful than the government.
ecent-performing electric powertrain, it'll cost a fortune.
electric engines are up to 10 times smaller than ICE with the same horsepower, and they don't even need a transmission. if there is a problem with electric engines, it's the batteries.
and what happens when a privately owned nuke melts down ? the corp won't pick up the pieces, that's for sure. no liability caps? what a joke. And 'where nobody can really have a recourse against a large, government protected monopoly'? how about when a corp is so big it has a monopoly ?
I'm with you that a market which fullfills ALL textbook boundaries can work. I'll give you a few and you can work out for yourself if these are even remotely workable. (my answer:no)
1/total availability of ALL information to all players. 2/infinite resources 3/infinite number of sellers 4/infinite number of buyers. 5/ALL damages to other players on the market should be compensated (like for example damage of second-hand smoke, global warming, chemicals released into the food-chain.
State = the people, or that's how it should be. nowadays it's State = corporations. you are clearly a fool who thinks companies apply regulations on themselves. call back when you return from pixie-land.
No. I am against state run nukes, AND against private run nukes. But i find private run nukes without state run regulation much, MUCH worse than either.
One thing you can rely on: people acting in their own self interest. This is what makes regulations, not self-imposed regulations, but regulations imposed by the market where you are an actor.
are you from mars? Who is going to check the safety of the reactors, if not the government?

The UN is elected. Corporations are not.

winners : the 1%-ers/corporations.

it's always the 'democratic' component that is missing (in both communism(russia,china,cuba), capitalism(europe) and corporatism(us,uk)
you mean the "communism" of russia, china and cuba ?
You'd think people who want to sock it to the wealthy would be against government debt.
the answer would be the rich paying a fair share, not scrapping health care.
This is the next move from government control to corporate control. Thank you, fascists. [fascism = shut up and obey your superiors.]

clearly you haven't paid attention during economics 101.

Your are contradicting yourself. how can you have market regulation without government ????
State = the people, or that's how it should be. nowadays it's State = corporations.
you are clearly a fool who thinks companies apply regulations on themselves. call back when you return from pixie-land.
I clearly stated 'private run nukes without state run regulation', If I had to choose, I would say privately run nukes with a LOT of regulation.
ever heard of tax-evasion by exporting your money ?
seeing from your comments, the market. what a joke.
No. I am against state run nukes, AND against private run nukes. But i find private run nukes without state run regulation much, MUCH worse than either.
