Encourage the private sector to make themselve more enviromental friendly. b. Reduce the enviromental footpring of the Allied States. c. Increase living standards of the population of the Allied States. d. A limit for the fund shall be set at $250 monthly. e. Repealling of Section 6 in the Domestic Energy Act Section 2: The Treasury shall help financing the green energy transistion of the Allied States to: a. Start the project of switching to renewable energy sources. b. Reduce the enviromental footprint of the Allied States. c. Increase living standards of the population of the Allied States. d. A limit for the financing shall be set at $250 monthly. The spending limit is just set to $250 to have something to go from, also qoutas for specific green energies could be put in the act.

This seems like a RP bill, so the $250 does not make sense |

Right, I agree with Keventle. There are two "types" of bills if you will, "real" bills which deal with the forum economy and regional administration (so the School Subsidy Bill is "real") or government roleplay bills which imagines us as running an imaginary nation similar to the United States (so the Safe Schools Act is an RP bill). You can look at the Library of Congress for examples of both.

You might also want to have a clause repealing Section 6 of the Domestic Energy Act. Let's get on with the real debate: I don't think subsidizing green energy is a good idea. Look at what happened with Solyndra IRL for instance. If a technology is worth it's cost, it should be able to find private financing rather than relying on government subsidies. How do we know, for instance, that renewable energy is what we should be focusing on? The advent of franking and the explosion of natural gas has increased domestic energy production while actually reducing our carbon footprint. Meanwhile solar and wind would be prohibitively expensive if it weren't propped up by government subsidies. |

I see your point however we could switch our entire energy production to natural gas, however this would simply postpone the issue as natural gas is not renewable in the same sense as solar or wind energy. The subsidizing is merely to get the ball rolling, we could set a time limit for it to make buisnesses do it as soon as possible. |

we have a tons of natural gas. Enough to run this nation for centuries. By the time that goes low, we would probably have something different. |

Well I am not denying that natural gas is a green energy source, I am merely saying it won't do the trick, a major pollutor is the car, and the best current alternative is electricity, which we could get through solar panel on the cars roofs and when they charge at home or at the mall it could be by natural gas energy. The whole point of this act is to remove the need in any form for fossil fuels like oil and coal. Also, we might have tonnes of natural gas, but we are not using that much currently due to our reliance on the fossil fuels, ones we make the switch, it might very well not be centuries, but decades. |

I can assure you centuries. I can't give you a source due to the info. form being a conference in Chicago with economists from all over the USA.
