What We're Working On Pt. 3

Brian Peterson ("BP") of Glenbrook South High School will be tackling the biggest stick available in the resolution: nuclear power. It's inevitable, it's good, and it has REALLY big impacts. And if someone is going to build it, it might as well be someone with a red, white, and blue flag.

The aff solvency mechanism I am looking into is substantially raising the federal loan guarantee for nuclear power, taking it from the current $18.5 billion to around $35 billion. This would be startup funding for the development of a new generation of nuclear plants in the US, which would allow electricity companies to have a financial foundation to begin competing with other countries for nuclear plants overseas. Advantage areas include salvaging the economy, preventing radioactive meltdowns, and ending the drive of bad countries toward nuclear weapons.
