| Message | I fail to see how this can be a bad thing. Privatisation frees up money for the government and ensures the best people possible can take control of our nation's grid. |

| Message | Elections choose the best people to administer these industries which affect the lives of all. Elections are far more representative of the people's will and the effectiveness and quality of an industrial business administration. While public control is not appropriate for all industries, those that are vital must remain under public oversight. |

| Message | A private energy company will make prices lower. Apparently you don't give a damn about raping our pocket books, but what else is knew. |

| Message | Just because it's owned by the state doesn't mean it's free. Telamonians pay for their electricity. |

| Message | Well I tend to vote 'no' on anything with the word 'private' or 'privatization' in the title. |
