1NC Topicality Shell—the affirmative does not REDUCE restrictions OR INCREASE financial incentives  
A. INTERPRETATION.  A restriction must actually prevent production, not just indirectly make it more difficult.  
1-Legal interpretations in the context of a kind of regulation similar to that in the topic support this.
US Supreme Court Justice Roberts in 34
(Owen, Majority opinion in Nebbia v. New York, 291 U.S. 502, 531, http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/cgi-bin/getcase.pl?court=us&vol=291&invol=502
Notwithstanding the admitted power to....against the statute depends.

B.  VIOLATION.  Their advocacy changes the way persons relate to energy in nature.   This does not remove a restriction on or increase financial incentives for energy production in the physical world.
C.  REASONS TO PREFER.

1.  Limits.
   Their interpretation opens aff case choice to changing anything that might discourage energy production.  They could improve the European economy, or stop a war with Iran.  Unlimited case possibilities make negative preparation too difficult.  Our interpretation allows lots of cases where energy producers cannot find a site to drill on or the money to build.
   2.  Ground
   The aff interpretation allows them to claim too many advantages or critical perspectives unrelated to increasing energy production, such as protection of trade secrets.  Fair ground division on this topic should be centered around increasing or decreasing energy production.  Our interpretation guarantees this.
   3.  Bright line
   Their interpretation requires that you look at personal intent rather than on the specialized meanings of the topic words.  Our interpretation sets a bright line  if U.S. law prevents you from producing and gives inadequate tangible encouragement to produce energy, then it is topical to remove it.  Avoiding subjective judging decisions is good for the exercise of jurisdiction.
   D.  TOPICALITY IS A VOTER.
   For reasons of education, fairness and jurisdiction.

GREENWASHING DISADVANTAGE      

a) Wind projects are a front for  exploitation of Native Americans and “greenwashing”

It all started with a....gain greater economic and tribal sovereignty.
 

b) The plan forms joint ventures that gut tribal sovereignty

It’s hard to believe....driving the planet to its doom.

C) These unscrupulous corporations will eviscerate the environment and repeat the harms of colonialism turning the case

In pursuit of a financial bonanza....the sobriquet “irresponsible development.”

Warming DA 

Scientific consensus is warming is coming

The threat of human-made climate change....especially by young people and future generations.

Warming causes extinction

We need to get prepared for....towards a similar hothouse Earth.
