Contention
The AC advocacy is that the production of nuclear power is never permissible. I will defend whole rez, prohibiting all production of nuclear power. If they want links to implementation, I will defend “Resolved: The United States federal government will prohibit the production of nuclear power.” For any specification issues, I will defend implementation of Sovacool and Cooper’s ’08 proposal, but I will be flexible to altering that in CX. They don’t have to check in CX for me to defend that plan; they can just tell me that in their NC. Err aff on spec issues—AC solvency isn’t reliant on spec and I’m not denying any neg ground so there’s no possible skew.
