A similar argument can be made about nationalizing corporations which break various laws, betray public trust, etc etc.

I'm not commenting on the virtues of such an approach, but I think it is fair to say that it is unrealistic, especially for countries like the US which fetishize profit at any cost.

Yes, mining companies should all be nationalised for digging up the country's ground and putting carbon in the country's air.
