Consumption K

The affs support of large scale renewables utilities effectively privatizes the commons pushing out alternative less ecologically intrusive systems.

Ruggero in 2009
E. Colin (PhD Candidate in Sociology at the New School for Social Research, focusing specifically on Social Movements) “Radical Green Populism: Climate Change, Social Change, and the Power of Everyday Practice” http://www.anarchist-studies.org/node/309

Some might ...(unbalanced) competition

Switching from fossil fuels to Renewables does not solve our consumption addiction – such an approach ensures our dependence on and destruction of the natural world

Wilkerson in 2006
Joseph, “Energy and Psyche: Resource Addiction in the Technological Age”
This article was originally submitted as a term paper for the environmental science class “Energy and Society” in April 2006

Does this...later on.

Increase Production necessitates a demand for increased consumption. Focusing the debate on changing energy imputs without questioning societies relationship with consumption ensures continued ecological damage.

Shifts in Production of energy without questioning consumption ensure further environmental damage. It leads to system of collective denial and cognitive dissonance as the loss of vital ecosystems accelerate around the world

Rees, School of Community and Regional Planning, University of British Columbia, 10
(William, “Whats blocking sustainability? Human nature, cognition, and denial”, Sustainability: Science, Practice, & Policy 6(2):13-25, http://sspp.proquest.com/archives/vol6iss2/1001-012.rees.html, accessed 7/11/12)

Just what...the world.

This debate is a question of what you choose to value when faced with the mutually exclusive options of increased production or decreased individual consumption. It is an ethical question that precedes all utilitarian calculations.

Oliver 2010
[Kelly Oliver, prof phil at Vanderbilt U, “Animal Ethics: Towards an Ethics of Responsivenss” Research in Phenomenology 40: 267-280] Oliver 6

In this...collective planet.

The alternative is to reject the affirmative proposal of increased production in favor of prioritizing a reduction of individual consumption and ecological destruction. This is the only approach that will challenge our denial of individual guilt and responsibility.

Princen, University of Michigan, School of Natural Resources and Environment, 01
(Thomas, “Consumption and its Externalities: Where Economy Meets Ecology”, Global Environmental Politics 1:3, August, EBSCO, p.27)

In short,...consumer sovereignty.
