| Message | Aren't you intervening in the free market, hypocrite? You won't subsidize housing, but you'll subsidise corporations looking to poison our Earth with the nuclear scourge? |

| Message | Well frankly I was thinking more of giving tax benefits to regions which let the nuclear power plants go into their area. It was that or I mandate what the power plants are which would go against letting the market be privataized. So watch who your calling a hypocrite LDP. Your the one who can't win votes so you have to turn christian to try to salvage your dying party. |

| Message | "Proposed: The government encourages nuclear power (subsidies, tax relief etc)" This would seem to suggest you are offering subsidies and tax relief to companies that open up nuclear power plants. |

| Message | Sadly with the privitization aspect now that would be what was happening or I'd be choosing a bill that mandates what type of energy plants those companies had to use. I picked the lesser of two evils and went with the one without coercion. |

| Message | It still means you are undermining a free market. We oppose nuclear energy since we have better alternatives. We live in 2213, and nuclear power is of the past. Many other methods have been invented which do not have any waste what so ever, and are better for the environment. Energy produced in naturefriendly ways provide us with enough power, are not centralised to nuclear power plants and are thus able to put everywhere it is needed. When the grid is not as centralised as it is with nuclear power plants, one is less dependant on such a plant, and thus safer from the power coming down. The waste is hazardoes to the environment for centuries, and there is not a way to dispose of them in a short time. The radiation has to wear off over centuries and waste only becomes more with the use of nuclear energy. Why use such a method when you can use energy produced by nature itself without hazardous consequences and which are an infinite power source? |
