Dolgava

"This winter has been cold, but our will and our strength is stronger". Those were the opening words of Toivo Meri's press conference outside of Dolgava's Merco nuclear power plant today, in which he declared that his government will be pursuing a 100 billion DOL plan to build a series of nuclear power plants across Dolgava. The plan will create five new plants across mainly Lirath and Karzon. The other three states have hydroelectric plants, and are powered by them easily.

For Lirath and Karzon, the plan is nothing short of a godsend. Lirath is the heart of Dolgava's industrial district, and cities like Trigrad and Noversk are still powered mainly by coal fired power plants. This has made these cities very industrial and has led to health problems. The Conservative Government has decided to phase out coal power, and work with the local power authorities to transition to all nuclear power!

Toivo's bill is expected to pass through the Reiksaima later today, but before that, he made a press conference in which he urged Parliament to support the expansion of Dolgavan energy saying "together we can achieve a better, cleaner future. Our kids won't be coughing coal smoke, where Noversk is not only a city of the working class, but one that draws tourism and bright futures".

The plan is widely seen as the biggest win for the Meri Government. the plan is supported by over 71% of Dolgavans, and has wide support from the Social Democrats, and Conservatives. The DPP is skeptical of the plan, as they are concerned about the water usage being diverted from agriculture, but they have been slipping in recent polls, now polling even with the DSP. Their new leader is also not inspiring Dolgavans, as he is considered to be a bland pick.

The Conservatives have now proven they can push landmark policies, and ones that are well liked by all Dolgavans. If this policy goes through, it would lower energy prices for many cities and communities across Terra. If that happens, the Conservatives will be in the drivers seat, for government for a long time.
