Baranxtu votes against this resolution, mostly due to wording.
It focuses almost solely on solar energy, barely mentioning other "environmentally friendly methods", and failing to elaborate what this other methods would be (for example, one could argue that nuclear energy is actually also friendly to the environment as long as the waste is dealt with properly).
Additionally, whereas it may cover some or even the majority of energy needs, as it has been pointed out, in some countries or areas this simply cannot be achieved.
And, as Groot Gouda has already said,
Quote: 4) The burning of fossil fuels is one of the factors that depletes the Ozone Layer, which in turn melts the polar ice caps. [/quote]
is simply nonsense. And we can't let that nonsense pass.
