Last month was Global Divestment Day, so protestors from 350.org too to the Toronto Stock Exchange to protest the Tar Sands extraction. The 350.org people present themselves as environmental alternatives to the normative consumption view on fossil fuel investments. The protestors also added that multilateral institutions such as the IMF and World Bank have put forth condemnations against state subsidies of fossil fuels. So in the case of energy consumption, it seems that the nation-state is more of a “daddy”-state rather than a nanny-state or even managerial state.
