Green Energy (Definition and Promotion) Act 2009
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
2 Microgeneration strategy
(1) The Secretary of State must prepare and publish a strategy for the promotion of microgeneration in England. (2) Before preparing the strategy, the Secretary of State must consult— (a) persons who appear to the Secretary of State to represent the producers and suppliers of equipment for microgeneration; and (b) any other persons whom the Secretary of State thinks it appropriate to consult. (3) Consultation under subsection (2) must begin within 6 months beginning with the coming into force of this Act. (4) The Secretary of State must publish the strategy within 6 months beginning with the end of the consultation. (5) In preparing the strategy, the Secretary of State must— (a) consider the contribution that is capable of being made by microgeneration to the matters specified in section 82(3) of the Energy Act 2004 (microgeneration strategy for Great Britain); and (b) have regard to any other strategy published by the Secretary of State on or after 1st July 2009 in so far as it relates to the generation of electricity or heat from renewable or low-carbon sources. (6) The Secretary of State must take reasonable steps to secure the implementation of the strategy. (7) In this section— “microgeneration” has the meaning given by section 82 of the Energy Act 2004, but as if in subsection (8) of that section for “45 kilowatts thermal” there were substituted “ 300 kilowatts thermal ”; “renewable or low-carbon source” means a source of energy or technology specified in section 82(7) of the Energy Act 2004.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
