Last constitution of U.S.A. I read said that nationalization with
compensation was allowed.

Just thought I'd mention it.

[Moderator's Note: Unfortunatly, you are correct. Something very scary
here in Chicago right now are the local politicians talking about
stealing (only they prefer to call it 'municipalizing') the property of
Commonwealth Edison, and taking over the electrical power system here
as an agency of city government. I guess they need another patronage
hive. Imagine! The people who brought us the Chicago schools, the
Chicago Housing Authority and the Chicago Transit Authority -- now
they want to take over the nuke plants. It is really bad news.  PAT]
