	1	+====The affirmative is a fundamental example of vita-politics. Its assumed that prohibition of nuclear power will result in the transition other forms of energy. The reliance on Exorbitant energy is the foundation of modern society: we begin to worship energy because we view it as letting us live whatever kind of life we want. In reality, being bound to Exorbitant energies necessitates that we die in line with the system, bound to the conservative economical horizon of life itself.====
