| Message | No, energy corporations should be subject to some limitations if they are to be privately owned. The stability of the entire nation in all its forms is at the mercy of the energy industry. This differentiates it from others and so must be treated accordingly. |

| Message | Absolutely not. This is a way to allow unregulated monopolies to rip off people in the purchase of a necessity. |

| Message | We will not change our position that a natural monopoly such as power generation should be state-owned. Private monopolies are even less efficient than public monopolies. |

| Message | We're with the SHP. This will mean higher energy prices, which is not good for the people. It won't mean exorbitant prices, as they'll be regulated; but utility bills would be lower if the government retained ownership. |
