| Message | Nationalizing energy is also monopolizing energy thus destroying a capitalist economy. |

| Message | The NCL would like to point out to the MRP that energy markets are natural monopoly markets - meaning that there will always be naturally-occuring barriers to entry. I support regulation to make sure that these companies do not exploit their market position, not a nationalized energy policy. However, at the same time, I would rather sway to the side of regulation than exploitation. |
