| Message | We prefer to have no position on it, but its better than banning it. |
| Date | 21:44:21, July 16, 2008 CET | From | Traditional Conservative Party | To | Debating the Nuclear Power Act |
| Message | We prefer this beeing up to local governments, but like the CCP said, this is better than having it banned. |

| Message | Both the CCP and the TCP express opinions, and vote on them - rather than providing any logical justification. We find that, frankly, detestable. Nuclear power is dangerous. That is reason enough to control it. It ALSO produces a form of waste that simply cannot be removed from the environment, only shunted from place to place. There is no logic to allowing freer access to nuclear volatiles. |

| Message | Nuclear power is dangerous in the same sense that an unlit stick of dynamite that is nowhere near a flame is dangerous. While both have the potential for disaster, neither are even close to realizing that potential. |
| Date | 07:12:04, July 17, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Nuclear Power Act |
| Message | The Berosian Party talk tot. Nuclear power is inherently dangerous, because it yields a waste product that cannot be de-toxified. Add to that the fact that meltdown (a fairly unlikely result) is not the only way in which a nuclear plant can critically fail - just the most spectacular, and you find that nuclear reactors are actually a lot more dangerous than the low incidence of catastrophic self-destruction suggests. And that's before we even look at issues like potential for terrorism. |
