| Message | The LP feels that, as energy will soon be provided solely by private companies, there is no need to maintain a public power grid and public power generators. Retaining the government's grip on the energy industry only ensures inefficiency and further burdens taxpayers. OOC: Note that because these companies do not directly sell to consumers, only to the energy companies themselves, there are no options for subsidies for the poor, nor are they necessary. |

| Date | 23:25:28, October 12, 2005 CET | From | Democratic Labour Union | To | Debating the Energy Act of 2124 |
| Message | The DLU remain unconvinced full privatisation is necessary in this area, particulary in the absence of any industry regulation to ensure consumers are not over charged simply to line the pockets of shareholders. The current bilateral approach we feel remain in a sensible. |
