Does free enterprise really exist in the energy realm?

Lets say I want to build many Natural Gas Stations to service the cars that Corky and I convert to Natural gas. Will I be able to purchase NG for those stations or would the oil barons kill my business? You know, like Rockefeller killed all the competitive little regional refineries in the "good ole days".

If they do kill your ability to build and supply those stations it will be with the power and blessings of government.

Crony capitalism is the only political means your mythical oil barons could "kill" your business.

They might "kill" you economically in the free market by out competing your business, the way Rockefeller did.

Thumper,
Oil companies will be right in the middle of things selling CNG at stations as soon as critical mass is reached with CNG vehicles, if it is reached. The writing on the wall is the move to setup export markets of gasoline and diesel fuels to the rest of the world.
