    On the Merits and Limits of Nationalising the Fossil Fuel Industry
    Royal Institute of Philosophy Supplement 91 53-80. 2022.
    We explore the desirability of an idea that has not received the attention it deserves by political philosophers: that governments should bring privately-owned fossil fuel companies into public ownership with a view to managing their wind-down in the public interest – often simply referred to as ‘nationalising the fossil fuel industry’.
