SBSP 1AC
Plan – the United States federal government should develop space-based solar power.
Contention 1-
Status quo energy policy maintains a strategic gaze that ignores the 2 billion members of the energy oppressed poor – this mindset homogenizes entire populations leading to dehumanization.
Guruswamy 10 – Nicholas Doman Professor of Law, Director for the Center for Energy and Environmental Security, University of Colorado at Boulder
(Lakshman, “Energy Justice and Sustainable Development,” 21 COLO. J. INT'L ENVTL. L. & POL'Y 231, lexis,)
All individuals deserve electricity access – but most don’t get it – we have an obligation to rectify the government’s failure to provide energy to the poor
Tully 6 – former BP Postdoctoral Fellow of the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Centre for the Analysis of Risk and Regulation and of the Law Department of the London School of Economics and Political Science
(Stephen, “The Human Right to Access Electricity,” The Electricity Journal vol 19 issue 3, April 2006, pg 30-39,)
And, a lack of energy access dooms billions in developing countries to continual poverty and marginalizes them in the political sphere – plan solves
Bradbrook and Gardam 6 – *Bonython Professor of Law, University of Adelaide, Australia AND Professor of International Law, Unversity of Adelaide, Australia
(Adrian and Judith, “Placing Access to Energy Services within a Human Rights Framework,” 28 Hum. Rts. Q. 389,)
The marginalization of populations constructs them as disposable – this causes extinction
Santos 3 – Professor of Sociology at the University of Coimbra
(Boaventura de Sousa, “Collective Suicide?”, http://www.ces.uc.pt/opiniao/bss/072en.php)
And, the right to energy is uniquely key to assist and empower women living in poverty
Clancy, Skutsch, and Batchelor 2 – *a Reader in technology transfer with the Technology and Development Group, University of Twente, Senior
Lecturer with the Technology and Development Group, University of Twente, AND *Director of Gamos Ltd
(Joy, Margaret, and Simon, “The Gender-Energy-Poverty Nexus: Finding the energy to address gender concerns in development,” http://www.sarpn.org.za/documents/d0000378/P342_Skutsch_Batchelor.pdf)
And, failure to alleviate these kinds of gender hierarchies makes conflict inevitable
Tickner 1 [J. Ann is a feministinternational relations (IR) theorist. She is a professor at the School of International Relations, University of Southern California, Los Angeles.[1] Her books include Gendering World Politics: Issues and Approaches in the Post-Cold War Era (Columbia University, 2001), Gender in International Relations: Feminist Perspectives on Achieving International Security (Columbia University, 1992) “Gendering World Politics: Issues and Approaches in the Post-Cold War Era” May http://www.ciaonet.org/book/tia01/index.html]
And, our 1AC is a starting point for debate over SSP – this allows for a more genuine political sphere – active engagement solves
Woodell 2K – manager at Controversy Management & Risk Communications
(Mary, “Power from space: the policy challenge,” Space Policy 16 (2000) 93-97, Elsevier, dml)
Contention 2-
Status quo oppression is functionally a militaristic war on the poor – reject the desire to revert to the status quo in the face of wildly constructed threats in favor of including the narratives of the oppressed
Cuomo 96 – Associate Professor of Philosophy and Women's Studies @ Univ of Cincinnati
(Chris, “War is Not Just an Event: Reflections on the Significance of Everyday Violence,” Hypatia, Vol. 11, No. 4, Women and Violence (Autumn, 1996), pp. 30-45)
Our framework is one of empathy – we believe you have an ethical obligation to assist those who have been marginalized in the status quo – this is the only way to peace
The Dalai Lama 93
(Speech given to the United Nations World Conference on Human Rights, Vienna, Austria, June 1993, http://www.freetibet.org/about/dalai5)
And, absent a mindset shift towards peace and empathy, a mentality of pure war will overcome us, negating value to life and making extinction inevitable
Borg 3 – co-founder and executive director of the Community Consulting Group
(Mark, “Psychoanalytic Pure War: Interactions with the Post-Apocalyptic Unconscious,” Journal for the Psychoanalysis of Culture and Society, Volume 8, Number 1, Spring 2003, pp. 57-67)
And, adopting a framework of empathy makes war impossible
