| Message | What would you like for number two? No change to the current or a national agency? If people care for themselves and for their Terran comrades, they already abide by any legislation in this bill. |

| Message | We're coming out of a war; trying to modify every car to use enviromentally friendly fuel while drastically increasing restrictions on industry is not only infeasible, it is dangerous towards the recovery of a fragile economy. |

| Message | A time of recovery and reconstruction is the best time for such legislation, you are proposing that we rebuild due to war damage just to rebuild later due to environmental damage? Madness, I say. We should build for the future while we have a clean slate rather than re-cleaning the slate later. |
