| Message | By allowing the government to gain control of power stations, then there would be no worries about private corporations taking advantage of the people by charging high prices for services that would cost much less. In short, less exploitation! |

| Message | I think that they should be owned by private companies. Private companies will work harder because they will have competition (which lowers prices). I would support some government regulation to insure no one is getting taken advantage of. |
