Energy companies and alike, will be controlled by an "industry director", responsible for its day to day running. the appointment shall be made and the Great Chieftain for each industry brought under state control. Industried like energy are very profitable. we feel that such profits could be used to benefit the public.

| Message | Proposal 1: Small scale private electrical generation is permitted but most energy is generated by a government-owned company. Proposal 2: The national grid is fully owned by the State. Proposal 3: Energy is provided by nationalised companies. We though it over, checked the possible options, and we're willing to support the second article, but we'll keep opposing the first one, and we're still in doubt about the last one |

| Message | .ha despite your generalisations not everyone is the same. show me proof that the people don't want nationalisation. Opinions show they are much more opinionated on other issues and don't have the stronges feelings on this issue. |
| Date | 15:02:30, November 18, 2006 CET | From | Patriot Party | To | Debating the Commanding heights bill. |
| Message | We're going to oppose this matter. It is a known fact that opinion polls do want power plants to continue to be runned by private individuals as well as the power grid. One has to go back and look through all the opinion polls dealing with this issue. |

| Message | GLDS. shall propose article 2 on its own and meet that compromise. |
