This is beginning of the end, sealing nuclear power's inevitable connection to nuclear weapons and militarism.====

	34	+====Therefore, I affirm Resolved: Countries ought to prohibit the production of nuclear power.====

	36	+
	37	+====Our method of enacting the prohibition of nuclear power production is one of genealogy – a critical interrogation of its historical underpinnings. Rather than reading history through objectivity, constantly interrogates the structures that enable certain histories to become dominate truisms. Such a process enables the removal of the reference points of power by placing a continuously shifting view of events that fragments coherence and allows resubjectivization while producing modes of resistance.====

	39	+Clifford is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the Institute for the Humanities and the Department of Philosophy and Religion at Mississippi State University. "Political Genealogy After Foucault," Routledge London, pg 134-137.

	45	+====These perverse narratives of nuclear power are self-sustaining, critique is off limits because of the omnipresent image of the all-knowing Scientist. The historical webs cast by this "despotism of science" is innocent in neither intent nor consequence, ensuring a militaristic tie between science and warfare and corrupting critical questioning of potential risk-factors within vulnerable populations in favor of statist drives for power and domination. Our genealogical reading of the resolution enables a counter-historical narrative to oppose and break down the Western framing of nuclear power.====

	56	+====Systems of power are tools that can either be used for good or manipulated for exploitation, as power is not absolute but rather fluid in its nature. Intellectuals have a particularly crucial role to play in terms of the restricting of criticism and history given their position within society. Acting alongside rather than evaluating transcendentally is crucial to critical praxis that can produce effective resistance. ====
