| Date | 06:38:36, October 27, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the CP.0159.2656 Energy Deregulation Bill |
| Message | We slightly prefer subsidies of renewable energy, but we slightly support the rest of the articles here (except for the one on the national grid being owned by the state. We fully support that change). |
| Date | 18:20:42, October 27, 2008 CET | From | Liberal Social Democratic Republicans | To | Debating the CP.0159.2656 Energy Deregulation Bill |
| Message | We oppose: 1. Although most powers should be provided by private entities, localities should be able to establish public power generation facilities. 2. No matter who owns the power grid, it should be subject to regulation to limit naturally occuring monopolies. 3. The government ought to promote renewable energy for obvious reasons. Period. We support the value in article three being changed, but not to the proposed value. |
