Details
Submitted by[?]: Kristen Socialdemokratisk Partiet
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: May 2636
Description[?]:
| This is the first bill in the Social Reform Bills series of acts. This bill is designed to focus in on helping our environment grow stronger. For example, we will, instead of using a ton of nuclear power, avoid the, even though it small, possibility of a meltdown. We will tap into more resources such as wind and solar power. In addition, we will require deforesters to replant trees at a higher rate than they cut them down, to make up for losses. We want to proivde people with these clean forms of energy, so we will further regulate the price companies can charge them, to provide efficient energy for everyone. Lastly, the government shall take care of disposing all waste so that we can do our best to dispose it in an environmentally friendly way. |

| Message | Here: These are all the choices, including the current law. For those of you who do not like the 1st choice on the list, how do you like the second proposal? Energy is provided by nationalised companies. Energy is provided by private companies but the prices they can charge are regulated. Energy is provided by private companies which are not subject to any special regulations. Energy provision is left to local governments. Currently: Energy is provided by private, unregulated companies but subsidies are given to those on a low income. |
