All fully qualified teams from the toc web page are included with the
exception of teams I've been told are not attending.
I have heard conflicting reports about whether Greenhill swapped partners
or not.
Now the case list:
Bainbridge (WA)
Shorrett-(Rogozen-Soltar)
C Tax.
They recycle revenue. Advantages are a short oil advantage
(shocks and dependency) and a substantial climate advantage
(mostly oscillations).
Bellarmine (CA)
Simmons-Singh
Slow Dereg/IRP.
They slow the transition and claim economy.
Bronx (NY) -- Richard Sodikow, sodikowr@voyager.bxscience.edu

Caddo Magnet (LA)
DeVault-McCartney, ? - McCartney3@compuserve.com
PBI, Procurement, RPS.
Perfomance Based Incentives, an auction that electric companies go
to to bid on RE to make them cost-competitive, the ones with the
best bid recieve subsidies. Their advantages are all climate:
oscilations, and agriculture (warming).
RPS Plan: USFG, in cooperation with utilities industry, will
establish a RPS that will require 2.5% of all energy used, be
renewable by the year 2000 and 20% by 2020. This will go along
with a renewable energy credit for each requirement.
Climate, water wars.

Cathedral Prep (PA) -- Stefan Bauschard, BAUSCSA4@WFU.EDU
Pamorski-Speice, ? - Patspeice@aol.com
Breeders.
Plan: The USFG will renew funding and support for all aspects of
the Idaho ALMR/breeder demonstration program. Funding and
enforcement through normal means. Aff intent. They claim prolif,
terrorism, and accidents.
Centerville (OH)
Akuthota-Thrasher
Hawaii, Natives.
Hawaii case funds renewables projects in Hawaii. The advantage is
Asian nuclearization and energy wars from oil running out. Hawaii
is key to Asia modeling. This 1AC is written on supercool paper.
Plan: The USFG will fund RE projects on Native American
Reservations.
They claim ecocide, cultural genocide and env. racism, and
environmental ethic.
College Prep (CA)
Burke-Neril
Permits, Solar Toilet Fans.
Plan: The Fed. Govt. will establish a tradable permits system,
modeled after the existing SO2 permits, to meet 1990 EPA levels
by the year 2000. All companies who will pledge to switch to
renewables will not have to pay the initial permit fee. Funding
and enforcement through normal means....
(If kritik will be read in 1NC, this is added: policy composition
and implementation will be coordinated under the policy narrative
analysis system as described by Emery Roe)
Ran a Solar Powered Toilets case at the Northwestern Juniors Round
Robin. It employed solar fans in national parks to get rid of
smells at the bottom of toilet basins. I'm not exactly sure what
it claimed.
Kentfield-Leong, ? - alienowl@hotmail.com
Biodiesel.
Plan authorizes B20 under EPAct; plan also requires further
testing. Advantage 1: air pollution, with particulates (trucks
and the sort) and silicosis (disease from some mining process).
Advantage two: water pollution, with oil spills and mining
run-off.
Colleyville Heritage (TX) -- Cindi Timmons, CLAMENDO@TENET.EDU
Boesch-Wenban, ? - brad.wenban@mailcity.com
RD&D.
I think they just boost the RD&D funding substantially.
Moose-Renn, ? - PRENN@FLASH.NET
Ban Nuke Subsidies, Japan.
USFG will stop subsidizing the civilian nuclear industry.
Prolif.
Japan Plan: Through all normal diplomatic means, the federal
government will mandate our codevelopment of renewable energy
technology via solicitation of Japanese co-op through the
bilateral science and tech forum. All states of joint ventures
will be conducted within the US through normal means.
Japan Rearm, Chinese militarization, heg.
Dreher (SC)
A'hern-Wachter
R&D.
Plan: The US Congress will restore renewable energy R&D funding
for the DOE to 1978 levels adjusted for inflation. The federal
government will seek to establish government/private partnerships
to deploy renewable energy. These agreements will be similar to
the Million Solar Roofs Initiative. Funding and Enforcement
guaranteed through normal means. We reserve the right to clarify
plan and intent.
The only advantage is leadership, with the Khalilzad impact. The
big disad trick is renewable energy inevitable.
Plan (newer version): Congress will increase RE R&D funding for
the DOE by 400 million. USFG will seek to establish
government/private partnerships to deploy RE. These agreements
will be similar to the million roofs solar initiative.
Econ/Comp./Heg.-Khalilzad and all that schtick.
East Grand Rapids (MI)
Lundeen-Van Dam, ? - Shiznut@aol.com
Ethanol, OTEC.
Ethanol-- Four scenarios off of oil.
OTEC-- the advantage was super whacky space crap including but
definitely not limited to the Marshal Savage First millenium crap.
Eastlake (WA)
Gardner-Hubbard
RPS.
They restructure the electric utilities industry. They guarantee
deregulation by 2000, and mandate an RPS as a solvency mechanism.
The advantage varies, but usually is oil (shocks, dependency,
US/China conflict over Caspian).
East Lansing (MI) -- Geoffrey M Wyatt, WYATTGEO@PILOT.MSU.EDU
Matheson-Nemser
Asteroid Mining, CH4, Solar Cookers, Solar Military
Asteroids Plan: mandates: NASA will request and Congress will
approve funding for a single mining mission to the near-earth
asteroid AMUN 3554 for the purpose of extracting renewable energy
resources to be used in the United States. As per the
recommendations of Lewis, Zubrin, and Hartman. Funding and
enforcement through normal domestic means. We reserve the right
to clarify.
Case outline: Advantage One: Prolif. A. Fusion inevitable in SQ,
but dangerous. = mass prolif. B. = nuke holocaust. Inevitable
wars. C. Asteroid mining solves. mining one asteroid ==> mining
all asteroids.
Advantage two: Mars. Current NASA paradigm prevents going to
MARS. Tech exists. Mars = infinite resource, solves root cause
all wars.

Methane flare gas cap. Warming/ecocide.
Solar Box Cookers- Not sure what the plan is exactly but it does
nationwide use in national forests or something and it ends a
tariff on box cookers...It claims death from wood/dung use as fuel
and it claims famine because wood fuel leads to deforestation.
El Cerrito (CA)
Lai-McIntyre, clai3@aol.com - ?
Fusion, OTEC, Solar Buoys.
They increase funding for the ITER to $250 million. However, they
sometimes change the wording, and increase the funding BY $250
million. Supposedly these extra dollars are key to guaranteeing
US involvement in the construction and building of fusion.
However, the timeframe cards they read to get out of short
time-frame disads don't assume plan.
Advantages: Disease treaties--if the US doesn't increase funding,
people won't be willing to work on disease treaties, and we all
die in like 3 years. The internal links are pretty shady.
Macro-industrial era--Zey, etc. Unlimited growth good.
I'm sure there are other advantages, but they haven't been
running them.
OTEC: busted their crazy-phat OTEC affirmative at Districts.
Solar Buoys: The advantage is that mercury from current buoys
kills fish. I dont know for sure, but I bet the argument is that
batteries produce the mercury.
McKenzie-Walukiewicz

Claiming savage and get off the rock....that is all they harp on
throughout the round....

IFRs.
Plan: the USFG will restore the commitment to the IFR by
converting currently dying reactors into IFRs at a 1:5 ratio.
Input to output ratio will set at no larger than 1:1.
They claim prolif off of article IV of the NPT, and they also
claim Russia and Pu stockpiling.
Singh-Weiner, ? - ECWiener@aol.com
Ban Nuke Power, Enviro Racism.
Plan: To substantially increase renewable energy use, the federal
government will shift subsidies directed at civilian nuclear power
to renewable energy. The plan will not change the policy on or
implementation of the storage of nuclear waste. Funding and
enforcement are normal. Aff speeches will clarify intent.

Bradt-Yousuf, BRADTSKY@AOL.COM - SUPERSOH@AOL.COM
Ban MOX, Natives.
Funds natives to develop RE and then procures PVs on federal
buildings on reservations. Not sure exactly what the advantage is,
but I'm sure it relates to culture.
They ban the use of mixed-oxide fuel. They claim prolif and
safety.
Bradt-Talmadge, BRADTSKY@AOL.COM - ?
Disaster Relief, Ethanol, R&D.
Replace deisel generators in disaster relief with solar
generators.
Ethanol Plan: The FG will mandate the incrase use of ethanol based
fuels in the civil avation industry. In order to accomplish this,
the EPA will lift the waiver on the leaded-gas ban of the 1990
Clean Air Act given to aviation fuel. The FAA will license civil
aircraft to run on ethanol based fuels. The FAA will engage in
necessary demo projects to prove the viablility of ethanol as an
aviaton fuel.

R&D.
Thus, in an attempt to begin a discussion about the issue of
renewable energy, we offer the following ideas for your
consideration. These ideas are intended to be inclusive and not
exclusive in nature, and we are open to alternative dialogue
within the confines of policy debate. The federal government
should establish a policy to substantially increase renewable
energy use in the Unites States. As per current jurisdictional
design, the federal government will establish a policy of
deployment of renewable energy, including the funding of renewable
energy research and development by $1 billion per year. Funding
and enforcement guaranteed. Counterplans with written texts,
please. Matt and I will clarify.
Case outline: Contention 1: Underinvesting in R&D
The advantage: Economy.
The transition is inevitable. Tech key to growth. Economy is
shifting and tech is crucial to maintain agility and avoid
becoming obsolete. Failure to shift = low wages. Low wages
spiral, lock us into low tech. = war, = trade wars,
protectionism.
Contention 2: Solvency.
R+D doubles RE use in a decade. Key to productivity. Solves
wages. Helps overall economy. Federal investment key.

H2, Weatherization.
The extend the Hydrogen Futures Act indefinitely, claiming
leadership via the Peterson evidence, which says we can't have any
consistency on foreign policy now because we're always securing
oil. They also claim economy. All your disads are nonunique
because the HFA already passed.
Weatherization assistance-- Give low income housing communites
weatherization assistance in the form of solar water heatres,
cieling fans,etc...claims population, the internal link is
poverty. Population impacts include but are not limited to
Biodiversity, Famine and Water Wars.

Creek-Holland, CondyCreek@aol.com - ?
Ethanol.
New plan text (they'll probably change it sometime soon)- They
implement the ROR- a report the EPA suggested awhile ago, to
supercede current incentives for methanol. In other words, a 30%
mandate of ethanol in the SQ. They read methanol harms, a
horrible famine advantage, and a decent particulates advantage
with breast and testicular cancer impacts, which Erik will make "a
priori" out of the 2AC.
Deutsch-Wozniak
Hemp.
Foster-(Kaplan-Sears), JACOBFOSTER@HOTMAIL.COM - ?
Permits.
They cap CO2 at around 550 ppm, and every other greenhouse gas,
relative to the effect on the atmosphere it has. The advantage
is global warming, with an ice age impact. The advantage card is
5 pages long.

Bean.
Plan: USFG should establish a policy to establish an emergency oil
substitute under the Chinese tallow Bean Plan provided by Simco
Inc. The use of the tallow Bean Fuel shall be put into effect
during periods of oil shocks. The fuel will only be used inside
of the US for stability purposes. Funding and enforcement are

A. Buildup of Biomass On Forest Floors = Wildfires.
B. Forest Fires Bad = Deforestation.
Advantage 2: Biodiversity.
A. Buildup of Biomass and Forest Fires Destroy Ecosystems.
B. Species Are Important And Have an Intrinsic Right to Exist.
Solar Cookers--
They do one demo project. They claim 3rd world feminism as the
adv, because women have to cut down the trees in the 3rd world.
Right to the Sun--
The plan uses the Supreme court to declare a right to the sun, and
other renewables. They claim property rights, and read a lot of
util bad.
Solar Detox--

H2 Plan: The federal government will establish a program to
substantially increase renewables by demonstrating a strong
commitment to hydrogen fuel cells. This includes fuel cell
production by private companies and producing demonstration fuel
cells. Any researching and development or private contracting will
be done. They claim exports key to hegemony.
H2 Subs: They built a new fleet of hydrogen fuel cell powered
submarines. They claim military readiness, and specific China,
North Korea, and Middle East advantages. They also save the
