Conditions of Rebuttal

Claim: We should approve the


Keystone XL pipeline with a
few conditions

Most of the oil will be


exported, not used
domestically

Reason: It would allow the US


to become energy independent

Well still be dependent on


another country for oil, it will
just one closer to home

Grounds
It will provide a major source
of oil for the country
It will cut down on the
amount of oil we need to
import
It will strengthen our
relationship with our
neighbors
It will reduce the variations
on prices controlled by
external factors

We should focus on cleaner


sources of energy instead of
oil
It wouldnt provide enough
oil long enough to sustain
independence,

Warrant: The US should


become energy independant

It would be economically
ruinous to get to the point of
self-sustainability

Backing
Importing oil is expensive
Oil forces us to deal with
countries that have it,
regardless of their policies

We dont have the long term


resources to sustain energy
independence
Wed have to deal with
disagreeable countries for
resources we dont have
anyways

Energy independence allows


us to decide our own energy
policy

Energy indpendance simply


sustains our reliance on dirty
fuels

If we are energy
independent, we can focus
more on finding alternative
fuels
