Repeal "Hydrogen Powered Vehicles"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal


Resolution: #18


Proposed by: Leg-ends

Description: UN Resolution #18: Hydrogen Powered Vehicles (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: COMMENDS the good intentions of the original resolution,

RECOGNISES that effort needs to be made to reduce dependency on non-renewable energy sources,

NOTES that many economically developing nations do not use polluting vehicles on a large scale,

OBSERVES that such nations are therefore unlikely to significantly contribute to air pollution through vehicle emissions,

FURTHERMORE NOTES that the development of hydrogen fuel cells is technically difficult and expensive,

OBSERVES that Resolution #18 requires economically developing nations to duplicate the effort made and expense incurred by nations that are in a much better technological position to conduct the research,

REASONS that such funds would be spent more effectively elsewhere,

CONCLUDES that the funding of expensive duplicate technologies by economically developing nations is illogical and unnecessary,

and REPEALS UN Resolution #18 Hydrogen Powered Vehicles

The Orignial Resolution, "Hydrogen Powered Vehicles"

QUOTE

UNITED NATIONS RESOLUTION #18
Hydrogen Powered Vehicles

A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.


Category: Environmental


Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing


Proposed by: Kibombwe

Description: We, the people of Kibombwe, propose that every nation should start developing hydrogen powered cars. We have polluted the air for too long -- it needs to stop. By passing this resolution we will be able to accompish these three things.

1. Less acid rain. Acid rain a problem that we feel should be stopped. It is especially a problem in the Northeast corner of the U.S.A. The Northeast is a place rich in historical buildings which acid rain damages. We passed a "PROTECT HISTORICAL SITES." This would only furthermore protect historical sites.

2. We wouldn't have to use as much oil. Oil is a nonrenewable resource that we only have so much of. By passing this resolution we would only prolong the time that we have oil on earth.

3. We would have cleaner air. Does anyone remember the days when "fresh air" was actually fresh? When it was a pure thing, without chemicals and other junk mixing in the air. With cleaner air, everyone would live longer, happier lives.

I hope that anyone and everyone who reads this agrees with us. PLEASE MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE!!!

Looking at the old resolution, we cannot help but agree with the repeal. While it is commendable as a policy, it is remarkably useless as an action by the UN. The delegate encourages REPEALing this resoultion, and the development of a resolution that would set out a course of action to achieve the vision encouraged by the current resolution.

Try as I might, I just can't find a 'Northeast corner of the U.S.A.' anywhere on Nationstates... just one reason why we should REPEAL AWAY.

Well... I I'm sure some nation has an area that can be abbreviated to USA and which has a northesatern corner. I have no idea where but I'm sure it would exist, but yes. REPEAL, If the region specified is not well enough known it should not be in a UN resolution

As good intentioned as it may have been, I don't like the idea of enforcing nations to do anything. But on the other hand, I do agree with Lamoni on this one, a better worded one would be a boon. REPEAL.
