For-profit entities backtrack on something that won't make a profit?! Oh my god my world has been turned upside down.
It's almost like we need government to force them
Yep. Looks like they intend on extorting the government for cooperation. I think the government should threaten them with harsher regulations if they don't play ball. ... and then ACTUALLY implement harsh regulations when they of course continue as usual.
Nah, fuck regulations... Nationalize or conpirulate... No negotiation... At what point does not burning heat become a human right?

I do like the idea of doing that, at least as a threat. The rail roads should've been over a century ago...
