(Just this time) ----- A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation. Category: Repeal Resolution: GA#417 Proposed by: Imperium Anglorum General Assembly Resolution #417 “Restrictions on Hydraulic Fracturing” (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. The General Assembly, Believing that: it is not fracking, but rather, the improper disposal of well fluids, which leads to groundwater contamination and induced seismic activity, something which intuitively makes sense, since near-impermeable rocks thousands of metres below the surface have little ability to change surface-level groundwater compositions and large underground disposals of fluids can change geological conditions, respectively, and binding international law should regulate the proximate cause of harms, rather than cast about wildly for actions to prohibit, thereby creating unintended consequences, Concerned that this resolution fails to regulate well fluid disposal directly, but rather, seeks to prohibit in many areas, hydraulic fracturing, making it extremely difficult for society to achieve compelling public policy interests such as: providing well-paying jobs to national citizens, helping them earn income to feed their families, invest in their children, save for their retirements, and make capital investments, building a more dynamic and prosperous economy as a whole, self-sufficiency in fuel production, thereby preventing a society from having to rely on possibly unscrupulous, exploitative, oppressive, or hostile foreign actors to provide vital fuels that would require them to be complicit in morally repugnant activities, production of natural resources for the benefit of tax revenues that can then be used to vital development investments to build infrastructure, highways, railroads, public housing, schools, etc., benefiting a whole society's quality of life and wealth, and development of technologies (i) vital to natural gas extraction to bridge from more pollutive fossil fuels towards future renewable energy sources and (ii) lower natural gas prices relative to other fossil fuels, producing economic incentives towards fully mature and comparatively cleaner energy sources, thereby helping to mitigate the existential threat of carbon dioxide-driven climate change, Hereby repeals GA c. 417 "Restrictions on Hydraulic Fracturing".

I'm voting against for a variety of reasons, one of which considers the fact that resolution #417 was passed with 69.4% in favor to 30.6% against. It is beyond ghastly how often the General Assembly continues this inane trend of passing something with a decent majority only to repeal it immediately after. Quite frankly, it makes a mockery of the system, and we result in virtually any semblance of progress being eliminated. Keep in mind, I certainly have nothing against repeals, even immediate repeals, as you can consider my opinion on the "Repeal Marriage Equality" bill from a couple weeks ago to be evidence for the case. Further, I consider myself a supporter of the original resolution #417 and find the Imperium Anglorum's suggested repeal to fail to satisfy my standards for what entails proper circumstances for repeal. Upon reviewing his poor attitude (once more) on the forums, my interest in voting against is only further inflamed. [edit_reason]Re-wording[/edit_reason] Edited by Drachen, Dec 2 2017, 04:00:43 PM.

The TEP IFV dispatch has been posted here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=929989 Currently, it only contains one opinion, but may display two more (with the delegate's approval) if enough substance is given. As the current majority is against, we will display at most two against opinions and one for opinion. Please share your opinion on the resolution! We want the members of TEP to be as informed about how their neighbors feel as possible.[edit_reason]Grammar[/edit_reason] Edited by Drachen, Dec 3 2017, 02:53:06 AM.
