| Message | The production of energy should be left to the national government and public companies/sector. The government should provide the essentials of society such as energy; the money is here, the tools are here, and initatives to add improvements is directed to us. It gives us more a duty of citizens to make sure the public sector serves the citizens and not here for their currency. I'm a believer in mixed-economic policies and one of the principles of a mixed economy is to leave energy to the public sector. It won't require tax increases and if budget spending to cover some extra costs, the 10-9 billion crown surplus we have at our hands can be used for investments. Also, powerstations are left the private sector, and in the end it is their job to distrubute it to society. Its mixed, balanced, and fair. I'm also proposing we leave the grid to the Crownlands themselves. This will leave the grid to local management and be up to the Crownland government themselves to manage. Although it doesn't state in the proposed but I'm sure they'll hire the private sector to do the jobs but gives the feel of self-government. Nuclear power should be encouraged as a Crownland-wide industry instead of a few small time operations in local governments. With finacial assistance and tax relief we can see a major makeover for our current nuclear plants and give them the right tools for better management. This will probably be defeated but this is a important policy for us. |
