| Message | we strongly support. |
| Date | 17:28:16, August 30, 2008 CET | From | Kazari Militarist Movement | To | Debating the Energy Act |
| Message | Energy is a vital utility that is paramount to the functions of society, we support this in that we don't trust private companies behind. We believe energy, water and other vital utilities should be ran by engineers and technicians who have strong expertise in utilities rather than businessmen who only have strong expertise in economy, money management but have nominal knowledge of energy, plumbing, waste |
| Date | 00:50:24, August 31, 2008 CET | From | Imperium Party | To | Debating the Energy Act |
| Message | We support as these companies are nationalised and not private. Percival van Rustenburg Imperium Party Leader |
| Date | 03:37:23, August 31, 2008 CET | From | Federal Rutanian Libertarian Union | To | Debating the Energy Act |
| Message | The pubic company will be forced to use billions of rutas in tax revenues to build new power plants to meet Rutania's growing energy needs. It is unwise and burdensome of the government to reassume the reigns of energy regulation and this clearly shows the RDF's lax commitment to business friendly policy. |
