These are factories in the US. The worst case is, the US seizes and nationalizes them. Wouldn't be the first time.

True, but I'd still rather infrastructure to be publicly held utilities. Energy suppliers are a strange case because any company can become part of the grid, but the power lines to our homes are generally controlled by one entity. I want at least that entity to be responsive to the public, but I also don't want random suppliers taking down the grid.
