Nationalize Our Natural Resources

Nationalizing "OUR" Natural Resources like the Netherlands, (I believe I saw it on PBS) did to preserve and manage their future access to Oil, Timber and other Natural Resources.

The government realized they needed to ask the right question, in order to get the proper and correct answer to: "What type of system do we use to manage our National Resources"?
They then decided, to do the unbelievable! (by American standards) they ask a philosopher for help! with the question. it quickly became obvious that the real question was: "Who Owns the Natural Resources"? and who should be allowed to profit from the sale of the Natural resources, corporations, government, or People?

It also became apparent by asking the philosopher that,
If Corporations and Government where allowed to profit, "Free Market" style, then the resources would not last long and at the current rate of usage wouldn't even allow the current generation to enjoy continued sustainable use. The End, No More.

This is the reason the question was asked in the first place.

The answer was a Legal Trust given to the people of the nation for its use and managed so that no current generation, people, government, or corporation be allowed to sale or use-up the Natural Resources that Future Generations had a Right to, and current government, corporations and people are responsible to preserve future generations Rights, not just the current generation Rights.

So if you have a Limited National Resource and figure-out how long it will last at current usage say... till extinction- then figure how much you must not use, consume or sale. so that the next 50 generations can also enjoy the Natural Resources and extend them also the responsibility and requirements of the National Resource Trust Account Management.

This bins and mandates us to the future by Law to extend the Natural Resources to future generation.
