| Message | PSS opposes. We do not want to see a patchwork of private companies milking the people again. |

| Message | The AAS agrees with the PSS, energy production by household industries has been inefficient and ineffective. We are all aware of the critical failure of the national power supply in the recent past, which plunged our nation into darkness, and interfered even with our political process. |

| Message | We are also aware of the dramatic increases in the cost of energy since the nationalization of the industry. These cost are being borne on the backs of our taxpayers, and are an anchor on our industrial growth. |

| Message | It could be argued that the costs in energy have been SO obviously proportional to the costs of oil/oil-based fuels... that the cost-increase SINCE nationalisation has been ENTIRELY cost-justified... Thus, for the first time in a number of years, customers have been charged increased prices PURELY because of increased costs, rather than to pad the portfolios of the idle rich. |
