General Actions:
TOPICALITY-SUBSTANTIALLY must be 50% of more
A. INTERPRETATION.
Courts have interpreted “substantially” as requiring a large percentage increase in amount (greater than 50%)
Words and Phrases 04 (vol. 40, 2004 Pocket Part, pp. 492-493)
Ex-husband’s 74% increase in ... should be modified. Scott v. Scott, Minnesota Court of appeals, 252 N.W.2d 62, 64.
B. VIOLATION. The plan is only a minor increase
C. BETTER INTERPRETATION STANDARDS
1.Better Clash and Ground. Diplomacy should be negative counterplan ground, which compares to spending money. They force us to run PICs which they claim are abusive.
D. VOTING ISSUE. For reasons of fairness, jurisdiction, education, and communication.
Competing interpretations is the best standard.
Wind Power cplan
Counterplan Text: The United States Federal Government should contract aerospace companies to design, build, and implement a necessary number of efficient wind turbines to supply the countries energy needs
Wind power is burdened by failures; utilizing aerospace technology rectifies their solvency takeouts
Rani Richardson, Former Director of Operations at Magestic Systems Inc., an aerospace company CATIA PLM Composites Consultant, 2009 “Wind Turbine Blade Composites Design: Leveraging Aerospace Advances for Improved Durability” http://www.plmv5.com/composites/downloads/Dassault_Systemes_composite_white_paper.pdf
With such high hopes....achieving significantly lower failure rates.
Wind power would solve the world’s energy needs 5 times over
