If I could guarantee that I'd bring down people's energy bills by half, I'd win votes. Incentive.
What do you think about BP?
BP drill for oil. It's hard to be enthusiastic about a company that engagesz in such activity. I have no idea how the company is structured, it's a PLC but that only means the public can buy shares, it doesn't mean the government own it unless the government themselves buy shares.
When the government bail it out, they essentially buy shares, but whenever that happens, the government nearly always seek to sell their shares in the future. I dunno if that happened with BP, but it certainly did with the banking bailouts.
