Nationalize it NOW

 @9623N53from British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

subsidize production but not consumption

 @92TDGFRfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Subsidized at a rate that promotes slow, progressive development towards a more sustainable energy resource without cutting off oil and gas.

 @8VQB6WYNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Somewhat but not wholly

 @8VPBV3ZCommunistfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Nationalize the Energy enterprises to start the production of renewable energy sources and phase our Fossil fuels.

 @8V8T75Mfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, at least temporarily or until renewables become competitive with fossil fuels

 @8TVCWD6from British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, and the means should be nationalized.

 @8TKFPRHfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, and the government should work towards prohibiting the expansion of non-renewable energy sources.

 @9CG2JV4from Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Federal or Provinicial governments should be the power suppliers - no private industry generation/ownership. Essential services should be government owned and operated.

 @98T57V8from British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but not for the profit of large companies

 @98HXPMVfrom Saskatchewan  answered…2yrs2Y

No, the energy sector should be able to run its self without government involvement.

 @97QYQ2VCommunistfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, and we should nationalize this industry.

 @8XHFW4Pfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Hydro and Nuclear should make up the backbone of our energy grid

 @8VYBG6LLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes the government should as long as it works from a capitalist view

 @8VWCHS9from Saskatchewan  answered…4yrs4Y

It will be needed for some things but I do agree we need to cut down on it.

 @nnekascott from Florida  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, and the government should nationalize all energy production

Kamala Harris is considering running for president again in 2028

Kamala Harris has been lying low since her defeat in the presidential race, unwinding with family and senior aides in Hawaii before heading back to the nation’s capital.But privately, the vice president has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open — whether for a possible 2028 presidential run, or even to run for governor in her home state of California in two years. As Harris has repeated in phone calls, “I am staying in the fight.”She is expected to explore those and other possible paths forward with family members over the winter holiday season, according to five people in the Harris inner circle, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal dynamics. Her deliberations follow an extraordinary four months in which Harris went from President Joe Biden’s running mate to the top of the ticket, reenergizing Democrats before ultimately crashing on election night.“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”Harris concedes: 'We must accept the results of this election'SharePlay VideoMost immediately, Harris and her advisers are working to define how and when she will speak out against Donald Trump and reassert her own role in the Democratic Party. Closing out her term as vice president, she’s set to preside over certifying the November election she lost to Trump, and then appear at the once-and-future president’s inauguration on Jan. 20.“There will be a desire to hear her voice, and there won’t be a vacuum for long,” a person close to Harris said.At the same time, Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, will have a long checklist to plow through before they leave the Naval Observatory for good.They have to decide whether they’ll take up permanent residence at their home in Los Angeles, or establish a base elsewhere. No matter where Harris and her family live, some around her have expressed concerns about safety, as her Secret Service protection expires six months after stepping away.
