Description[?]:
| In light of the destruction of nearly the totality of the infrastructure in Nashwa, it is the proposal of this government that instead of using reconstruction funds to support the self-destructive and unsustainable trade and use of fossil fuels, these funds should be spent modernizing and pivoting our nation instead. ARTICLE I: This Act will hereby authorize the creation of the Department of Environmental Sustainability and Protection (DESP) under the supervision of the Ministry of Finance. ARTICLE II: This Act will approve the construction of three new solar arrays in Nashwa to provide for a future reduction of dependency on oil. ARTICLE III: This Act will create the Sustainable Car Tax Credit to encourage our citizens to transition to non-fossil fuel vehicles and fuel sources. ARTICLE IV: This Act will authorize research funding for a search for a new, viable, and eco-friendly fuel source that could be mass produced on the same scale as oil and natural gas. |
