Nay. I suspect this will be ruled illegal and tossed out the nearest airlock. |

For. I think this proposal is reasonable. It requires member states to use alternative sources of energy but only if those sources are "efficient" and "effective" in the national context, thus alleviating any major concerns that the needs of the poor might be sacrificed to the purity of the environment. |

For. Why should we use these dirty, pollutive fossil fuels when we can just use cheap, clean energy? |

Late to the game, but... Against. Only one operative clause that's stronger than a "pretty please the WA encourages you..." statement, and that one barely does anything. A "good faith effort" may be sustained by appointing a fact-finding committee and telling them to recommend steps to the legislature. And requiring only those forms of energy that are now efficient has two problems: 1, it opens the door to say "Hey, we'd love to use clean energy, but wind power just isn't as efficient for our economy as coal is;" and 2, it removes any incentive to improve the efficiency of cleaner energy production. Seriously considering a repeal attempt. |
