Message | So why should somone earning 20,000 MCR a year in, say, Itaki have to pay more for the same amount of electricity than someone earning 20,000 MCR a year in, say, Polkana? |

Message | No, this is one of the few things that should be standardised nationally. |

Message | I suspect the best answer to this, is the standard of living is different for each province, and electricity will be factored into that. A person earning 20K a year in one province usually is either better off, or worse off, than someone earning the same amount in a different province. OOC: See the US States of Mississippi and NY in regards to this. |
Date | 02:59:20, October 10, 2005 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Power Grid bill of 2123 |
Message | We dislike this option due to the possibility that some regions would be more suited toward renewable power then others. Thus some regions would be forced to turn toward less desired methods then other provinces. THough this bill does not directly reflect this it would be a side effect due to the need to build the grid to connect one region's generation to another region's demand areas. |
