Bill: Energy Provision Act
Details
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 3748
Description[?]:
| Energy provision shall be the responsibility of a centralised national energy company, as opposed to the current form of leaving it up to local or regional governments. Under the current system, some regions have an unfair advantage in energy production due to different available regional resources and energy production capabilities, and reap profits at the expense of other regions. Since energy is a resource universally consumed in all regions, it should also be provided without any particular region profiting from it. Thus this bill seeks to establish a national company with the goal of providing energy at the same prices in all places, with profits invested into the development of energy infrastructure and quality energy supply for all of Kazulia. |
Proposals

| Message | We can accept that energy is provided by private companies but the prices they can charge are regulated as a compromise. We will vote against this bill in it's current form. |
| Date | 18:37:12, October 24, 2014 CET | From | Sammen | To | Debating the Energy Provision Act |
| Message | We cannot support letting private industry into this sector, as energy is produced mostly from national resources, which should belong to all citizens of Kazulia. Additionally, energy is universally consumed by everyone, which means there should be no profits reaped from its production by anyone, instead any operating surplus should be invested back into the industry. |
