Antrium votes against.
We disagree with:
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]
We also feel this is a waste. Even considering that clouds generate some electricity, would that amount be enough? It seems that in some areas, wind energy or other environmentally friendly energy sources could be more efficient. Why limit the resolution to solar power alone? I realize you can use other sources, but it is forcing every home to use solar power, when that isn't always the best choice for a particular area.
Quote:
ASSUMING and REALSING that not all nations may be able to make the transition in the time period given above -
1) The UN shall meet to discuss possible ways of aiding the nations in question.
2) A time extension shall be given, the amount will be decided individually for each nation depending on the amount of wealth of the nation.[/quote]
Why bother giving a time if you can get an extension? It would be better just to give more time and then force everyone to make the transition, and assist countries who need help before that time limit is up.
Quote: QUOTE
NOTING that Solar Panels provide each home with the most reliable source of electricity.
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]
Exactly.
