| Message | A national powergrid will, as any other government service, lead to massive scarcities of electricity for the general citizenry. So, while class will not matter, everyone will end up having worse electricity. The markets allow for maximum efficiency. Meaning that costs would go down and quality would increase. We wouldn't want a monopoly running electricity if it was private, why would a government monopoly be any better? |
| Date | 05:38:48, April 12, 2012 CET | From | Unio enim si quis Motus Populi | To | Debating the G.O.C Power System Action Plan |
| Message | We would prefer that each region maintain control of their grid so that they could better manage localized needs and situations. However, that is something that can be changed in a future bill and as such we will support the current legislation in this nature. |
