Any Ideas For A Good Debate Topic???

Question

Resolved: The United States federal government should substantially increase alternative energy incentives in the United States. This is our debate topic this year, and I'm trying to think of really creative cases that are hard to beat. Any ideas??? THANKS A BUNCH!!!

Answer 1

Our nation likes to think of itself as a trend-setter so to speak always being the shining example of freedom of this that and whatever.

oil is old-it's out.

out with the oil, and in with the new (and I am not talking nuclear, either)

Answer 2

The federal government has given the oil interests tax breaks, exemptions from environmental and anti-trust laws, as well as free access to oil deposits that belong to the people of the U.S. (only token payments made for them). If the wealth given to the oil interests had instead been applied to development of alternative energy, we would no longer be burning petroleum.

The death hold that the oil interests have on the politics of the U.S. goes back to John D. Rockefeller, as do the 19th' century concepts by which they operate. No concern for the damage they do, just resource thieves and their drinking buddies.
