| Message | AO: What are you talking about? "All power stations are publically owned" is clearly an option! This would mean that each local area owns its power station owns and controls it; not the central government, and not private companies. This is democratic and egalitarian. |

| Message | OOC: Oops, I see what you mean, I misread the option as well as my own reply. I really meant "publically" and not "locally". But either way, it still stands. |
