From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Radiation Defence Bill | | Message | I'm afraid we oppose this attempt to turn the Holy Empire into a third world, fossil fuel burning smokefest. |
| Date | 13:58:02, March 16, 2006 CET |
From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Radiation Defence Bill | | Message | No. I'd rather we regulate nuclear power stations to ensure safety and push electricity companies to use renewable energy sources or nuclear power instead of fossil fuels.
Every nuclear reactor except for Long Island and Chernobyl have been fine (there are a lot of them in France and a few in Great Britain: no problems). |

From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Radiation Defence Bill | | Message | Last time I watched the news there was nothing about about a nuclear explosion in the North West. |

From | Luthori Tory Party | To | Debating the Radiation Defence Bill | | Message | Perhaps not, but it's hardly working at peak condition, now is it? Frankly I'd rather we have the risk of global warning and pollutants (which can be greatly reduced) than the country reduced to something resembling the Sahara. |

From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Radiation Defence Bill | | Message | We do. At present they can never provide all of our energy needs so we should sublement them with the next best option: which is clean nuclear energy, not dirty fossil fuels! |

From | Luthori Tory Party | To | Debating the Radiation Defence Bill | | Message | I hate to point it out, but nuclear is still not clean. Aside from the risks, there's the massive mining operations needed to get the Uranium-235 and -238 necessary, neither of which are hardly commonplace. |

From | Luthori Tory Party | To | Debating the Radiation Defence Bill | | Message | I hate to point it out, but nuclear is still not clean. Aside from the risks, there's the massive mining operations needed to get the Uranium-235 and -238 necessary, neither of which are exactly commonplace. |

From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Radiation Defence Bill | | Message | But it is cleaner than burning coal, gas or oil and therefore the next best option until renewable sources can take over completely. |
| Date | 14:38:07, March 20, 2006 CET |
From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Radiation Defence Bill | | Message | Then by all means include such measures alongside nuclear and renewable power, during the transition to green energy. |
| Date | 14:42:49, March 20, 2006 CET |
From | Luthori Tory Party | To | Debating the Radiation Defence Bill | | Message | We must abandon nuclear energy now! Not only are there implications ecologically, but the uranium could better be used for our nuclear arsenal. |
| Date | 03:19:57, March 21, 2006 CET |
From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Radiation Defence Bill | | Message | While I hate the idea of uranium mining, and nuclear waste disposal, the reliance on fossil fuels in the greater of the two evils. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
