| Date | 23:21:55, July 25, 2008 CET | From | Keymon Socialist Party | To | Debating the Energy Regulation Act (2611) |
| Message | The reason I put forth this bill is that currently energy companies can pollute with impunity. The other is that energy companies are essentially natural monopolies without consumer choice. Therefore, consumers are left to the caprice of the energy companies and must either pay through the nose or freeze in the dark. |
