Algae Biofuels: King College Prep



Exact Plan Text: The United States federal government and the People’s Republic of China should substantially increase their economic and diplomatic engagement by participating in a bi-lateral investment to increase the production of Algae-based biofuels



Advantages/Harms (with explanation):
Climate change- unchecked global warming catastrophic

Food insecurity- food crisis will collapse civilization

Economy- economic decline goes nuclear

Relations- diminishing relationships between US and China go nuclear


Solvency Mechanisms:

-USFG and PRC key to Algae biofuels

-Algae allows other food sectors to grow

-Algae is cheap, easy to manage and effective

-cooperation over algae is key to improving us-china relations
