| Message | While we are generally against government intervention in the marketplace, we may decide to be flexible on this issue due to the benefits of increased energy production. |
| Date | 18:27:31, December 18, 2006 CET | From | United Democratic Labour Party | To | Debating the Cleaner Energy Act |
| Message | We are opposed to nuclear power as it leaves a legacy of waste that future generations millions of years down the line will still be dealing with, however without article 2 there wont be any future generations so we support this bill |
| Date | 22:49:20, December 18, 2006 CET | From | AM Populist Social Democrats | To | Debating the Cleaner Energy Act |
| Message | A reason to support nuclear power is that evern though on Terra, we cannot presume the same global warming problems that exist on Earth, even if there is none on Terra at the moment, fossil fuel overuse would eventually create such a problem. We are better burdening future generations with nuclear waste than with a planet unihabitable. If the UDLP is saying that it would be ideal if all energy could be renewable, we would agree. However, if their position is that nuclear power is not superior to fossil fuels, we would disagree. |
