| Message | Why not save at least some energy production in the hands of the state? As energy production is more or less vital for the nation we should be able to safeguard a certain minimum level of energy production in all circumstances. |

| Message | obviously the state would provide regulation of private power stations to ensure a minimum level of energy production but i fail to see the need to keep government owned power stations. You have in the past provided a valid argument about state control of the national grid (although i disagree with it) and so i have kept the national grid state owned, but i would prefer to see all power stations go private. If there defintely isn't a majority to pass it then i will change it in the interests of consensus, but on this i wouldn't be happy about it! |
