I affirm excessive energy expenditure as heterogeneous force
Energy and religion are inseparable we live in a posthistorical era where there is no distinction between religion and human behavoir. Ideology is fueled by their proponents ability to produce consumable energy to for the masses, neither human labor nor energy has insured our preservation. God is the only referent that remains, man and energy sinking into homogeneity before his indiscriminate gaze. Energy as religion, exists nothing more than a resource to be assimilated and vomited back up, used and then wasted. Man has contorted energy into a means of production, an endeavor where we only produce to receive, only assimilate to later vomit. Energy as a resource to ensure a more perfect level of worship, falling into consumable homogeneity.

Now along with …of fossil fuel
Energy and religion are inseparable, both contribute to the delusive subjectivity of our current modes of consumption and production. Transgression through expenditure is the only way to subvert and explode this totalizing religion of production that has established it's self as a dead god whom we have made our energy slave.

There is, however, …all types of energy.
Bataille's energy is fundamentally unusable in a productive sense, it is what remains when the growth of energy has reached its limits, it is the affirmation of solar brilliance, the magnificent sun expending tremendous amounts of energy a great intensity, reveling in its own excess defying quantification and the will to homogeneity by its sheer intensity, an affirmation of orgastic movement of the body for no intended purpose than intensity, the resistance of energy as a dominating religion used for our productive salvation, and the affirmation of energy that operates outside the system. Bataille's energy is a transgression, one that ruptures.

Bataille's energy is …used fossil fuels.
We expend for our own benefit, as an attempt to maximize production, we waste under the guise of utility, demanding a return for all our expenditure, falling into the same homogeneity of consumption and rejection playing into the hands of the idea that if we produce enough it will suffice as our salvation,
consuming and assimilating under the belief that it will save us, that it will allow us to continue our individualist life style. The only way out is to engage in non-productive expenditure.

Just as there…, which is its negation. (OC, 7: 126; AS 132: italics Bataille's)
ROB: The role of the ballot is to vote for the debater who best uses heterogeneity to rupture that which is homogenous, in a world where everything is indistinguishable from anything else, everything is quantifiable systemic, easily assimilated consumed and then simply reaerated as waste product using to fuel an end object Excess energy is the heterogenous rupture needed to free us from the religion of production guise of efficiency, and producing only to receive salvation.

Now in Bataille ...process of appropriation)" (OC,2: 65; VE,99).,
Bataille's energy serves as heterogeneous force, it stands in opposition to the homogenous nature of productive energy
