‘Responsible Energy Infrastructure’ Faces Opposition in General Assembly

NEWS: The at-vote General Assembly Proposal, “Responsible Energy Infrastructure,” authored by Eireann Fae, is categorized as regulation affecting energy.  This proposal would task the already existing 'World Assembly Disaster Bureau' with enforcing the proposal’s mandates.

The proposal mandates that energy providers and member-states of the World Assembly, provide free documentation about energy infrastructure, including who to contact in case of an emergency.  It also allows for third parties to provide the documentation.  Non-World Assembly members may also be offered the information, but member-states are obligated to include the information in their general education programs.

The author, Eireann Fae, is well-known in the World Assembly community as a serious roleplayer and prolific commentator in the General Assembly.  Eireann Fae stated the following about the proposal they have presented: 'The practical end result is a general population that has basic knowledge regarding the major sources of energy that impact their lives.'

Despite the author’s substantial history in the World Assembly, and initial support for the legislation, the proposal has, as of writing, been largely opposed so far on the voting stage. Currently, the proposal stands at 4,003 FOR and 6,275 AGAINST, a ratio of approximately 2:3.13.  There may be a few explanations for the rejection of this proposal.  First, it would require that member states provide information about their energy infrastructure to other member states who may not be very friendly.  Second, the implementation of the programs mandated in the proposal would cost a lot of money.  Finally, with an emerging consensus among members of WA forums that national sovereigntists hold a majority in the WA, it is likely this proposal will be rejected due to its strengthening of WA institutions and international cooperation mechanisms.

In conclusion, the "Responsible Energy Infrastructure" proposal mandates that member states implement educational programs to ensure their citizens know about the energy infrastructure in their nation and, surprisingly, is also being rejected by the General Assembly.
