| Message | Please bear in mind, this is the infrastructure that allows every area, home, business, etc., to have power, not who generates that power. |

| Message | The AP feels this bill will allow greater accountability to the people with regards to the efficient distribution of local power. The people will thus be able to choose who controls such responsibility as the administration of power. |

| Message | The SFP would normally reject this as straying too far on to the localization end of things, but locally run grids will respond better to natural disasters--that is, local power authorities will run power generated by local plants to local homes and businesses as opposed to all the way across the country. Thus, the effects of a local natural disaster on the power grid will be confined to that area. |
