| Message | Mr Speaker, More fearmongering from the Green Blob. There is no evidence of what the Hutori Socialists suggest is happening to Terra. In fact we have gone several millennia without any evidence of Terra getting hotter (except in the summer). Louise McDonald MP Nationals Leader |
| Date | 12:42:02, December 10, 2018 CET | From | Hutori Socialists | To | Debating the HS-7: Renewable Subsidies Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, The Nationals can reject the scientific consensus on our changing climate however much they wish, but it does not detract from the fact that minimising our carbon footprint wherever possible is always positive for keeping alive biodiversity and protecting our vulnerable ecosystem and endemic species. With greater funding for the renewable energy sector, Hutori can become a leader within Terra in this sector. Furthermore, it is worth noting that these finite resources that our country is currently dependent on for electricity are part of a land that is sacred to the twelve Mashacaran tribes. Supporting the Renewable Subsidies Act is just common sense. - Harrietta Tinina (HS-RO) Hutori Socialists spokesperson for Infrastructure and Transport |

| Message | Mr Speaker, What scientific consensus? The world population has been stable for millennia. The Socialists can accept the fact or they can lie. Louise McDonald MP National Party leader |

| Message | Mr Speaker, As it has been 12 months since the presentation of this bill and I believe that all parties have had sufficient time to deliberate its clauses, I will now proceed the vote on the Renewable Subsidies Act. - Harrietta Tinina (HS-RO) Hutori Socialists spokesperson for Infrastructure and Transport |

| Message | OOC: Sorry, I messed up this message with the one for the Union Power Act - I thought the dates were the other way around. Regardless, I believe everyone has had enough time to read over both of them. |

| Message | Ooc: Thankyou for leaving your proposals for debate, something I do not always do, but it is a nice thing to do. |
