Since it's a government industry responsible for extracting on the one hand and selling on the other all non-renewable resources Eutopia produces, is it correct to say that the government ultimately has control over these resources and can direct them as it sees fit?

In the event of war, could the government simply redirect all petroleum to warfighting, and all coal and iron to steel production?
