    Alternative energy is argued to be inefficient and hurt both the environment and economy. It would require $3 trillion to update infrastructure for alternative energy transportation and distribution in the US. Switching all vehicles would cost additional dollars and damage automakers. Developing alternative energy also can't increase fast enough and may lack sufficient workers. It could reduce corn supply by 25% and exacerbate food affordability for 1.1 billion people.

    Contention 1.

    Alternative energy hurts


    environment.
    -Alternative energy refinement is inefficient

    Contention 2. Alternative energy hurts


    economy
    One of the problems facing the resolution is the fact that in the
    US, our infrastructure is not set up to produce, transport, distribute, or
    use alternative energies _______________.
    According to The Economist, in order to solve this problem, we
    would have to spend 3 trillion dollars within a single year to begin the
    process of building the needed material: pipelines, factories, and
    fueling stations. Then we have to switch over all of our vehicles. That
    would cost__________ dollars, and would drive automakers out of
    business, as they are almost there already.

    Additionally, our working class is shrinking at an alarming rate.

    -Vehicle switch is costly


    -lack of workers
    -Research & Development can’t increase by needed 40%

    Contention 3. Alternative energy will


    exponentially increase food prices.
    -Shortages 25% of corn supply, 1.1 billion people can’t afford food.
