| Message | Having private for profit companies provide something as important and regionally specific as power is not the correct way. Also it tends to create regional monopolies that increase prices. |
| Date | 20:38:54, January 17, 2016 CET | From | Democratic Socialists of Beluzia | To | Debating the Energy Generation Act of 3969 |
| Message | I do not support this bill. It only represents a third of the populace's desires, and I worry that privatization would lead to an increase in costs for the country's energy consumers. A monopoly of private businesses may feel less beholden to its citizenry, and how can we ensure proper oversight without the direct supervision that a publicly owned utility can offer? |
