Reply to comment by HobbitFoot in Shell paid zero windfall tax in UK despite record global profits by hugglenugget

How about we start with an actually effective windfall profits tax (not building in absurd loopholes), and go on to jail time for executives implicated in price gouging if needed. On this issue, there's so much more we should be doing on so many issues.

Is there price gouging or was it just the market reacting to a supply squeeze and existing infrastructure not in place to adjust for shifts in locations of supply?

At the point where the different governments want to dictate price, why not have consumer nations nationalize their energy industries?
