Bill: Neutral Nuclear Power Bill
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: May 4334
Description[?]:
| Nuclear power is a great source of energy, but one that creates large amounts of toxic waste. While nuclear power is better than fossil fueled energy, it is still inferior to clean energy. We propose that the government takes a neutral stance on nuclear energy to avoid creating a surplus of toxic waste and expensive power plants that will have to be dealt with in the future. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Government policy on nuclear power.
Old value:: The government encourages nuclear power (subsidies, tax relief etc).
Current: The decision is left up to local governments.
Proposed: The decision is left up to local governments.

| Message | Herr Representative, How can we possibly leave local governments up to deciding issues of such grand scale. This is a duty for the Dorvish government directly, not local governments. Local governments simply do not have the resources to handle such a broad scope of importance. Wolfdietrich Otte, SNP Party Secretary of Science and Technology |

| Message | Herr Otte, Local governments represent the people far more closely than the national government. Giving them control of nuclear projects will involve the people's voice in the political process. There is no reason why local governments can't handle this. Tareec Salem SGP Chairperson for Transport and Infrastructure |
