| Message | This bill continues the economic reform of Hobrazia, and I expect much resistance. But I believe private companies are a better option for our nation than government run, regulatory machines. |

| Message | We are unsure about this. At present the government can more easily explore alternative energy generation methods, especially renewables, then if they owned no power plants. Your competition point is irrelevant as the electricity is sold to the government owned national grid rather than directly to consumers. If these points can be addressed along with others we may come up with only then will we support this. |

| Message | This eliminates the public ownership and transfers that ownership to the private companies already in existance. I don't see the need to have public and private ownership of power grids when private companies that are already providing power can handle the entire grid. Private ownership is in my opinion is better for future investment and economic stimulation than publicly owned grids, and if a power grid for some reason goes down, it will not bankrupt the private industry as it would government owned power grids. Rather than sell the power to the government, the power can be sold directly to the consumer which will provide competition and lower costs. |
