I vote against.
Quote: NOTING that Solar Panels provide each home with the most reliable source of electricity.[/quote]
What makes solar panels more reliable than any other source of electricity? Of course we might run out of coal, and nuclear energy is dangerous (Chernobyl). But in many regions of the world, the sun doesn't shine very often. Wind energy might be better there.
Quote: 3) Over the period of ten years and a month after this proposal passes Solar Panels should be installed in all homes and places of work and leisure.[/quote]
Why does every single home in the world need a solar panel? Where I live (IRL), the sun shines 1400 hours a year. We have an average of 6.6 sunshine hours per day in July, and only 1 hour of sunshine per day in January. No wonder you rarely see any solar panels here.
That's not because I'm so far north (49?15'), but because it rains very often. It doesn't rain a lot either (820 mm per year, all year round), it's just a cloudy climate. ;-)
Providing every single house in the world with solar panels is a waste of resources.
Quote: 4) After the period of ten years and seven months all burning of fossil fuels shall be halted and electricity shall be generated by Solar Panels, together with and environmentally friendly methods each respective nation should wish to introduce.[/quote]
Solar panels exclusively? Maybe that gives enough energy to the Sahara, but not here. Besides, all cars would have to run with electricity or solar panels by then.
Quote: 5) The UN shall hold meetings as often as necessary to discuss the funds needed in order to carry out the project.[/quote]
Too much bureaucracy IMHO.
Quote: 1) Each nation has the right to decide the price of the Solar Panels distributed in their nation.[/quote]
So the national government make the prices for the solar panels, not the markets? I'm not a supporter of state monopolies.
Quote: FINALLY NOTING that the mass introduction of Solar Panels everywhere will give us the long term benefits we will never enjoy if we do not implement this resolution.[/quote]
:lol:
Sorry, but I think this "finally noting" sentence doesn't add anything.
