I can absolutely give you the final set of notes! Here are the maximum key points and words for the Green Energy Subsidies topic.
Green Energy Subsidies: Maximum Key Notes
INTRO
* Topic: Government subsidies for green energy.
* Strong Claim (B): No more subsidies (supports flawed systems, free market).
* Weak Counter (A): Need subsidies to compete with Big Oil (fossil fuels finite).
STRONG PASSAGE B (Against)
Body 1: Financial Failure
* Claim: Subsidies lead to failure/waste.
* Evidence: Salodra solar company failed 2011 after getting millions in loans.
* Type: Anecdotes (Case study).
Body 2: Technical Flaws
* Claim: Solar/wind are unreliable/flawed.
* Evidence: Intermittent source; don't know how to store energy.
* Type: Logical explanation.
WEAK PASSAGE A (For)
Body 3: Refutation
* Weak Argument: Help start-ups compete with Big Oil.
* Weak Evidence: Fossil fuels benefited from decades of subsidies.
* Flaw: Ignores cost to citizens (higher taxes) and industry profiting from taxpayers; ignores Salodra failure.
* Fallacy: Incomplete/Subjective.
CONCLUSION
* Key Evidence Type: Logical explanation and specific anecdote.
* Final Point: Passage B prevails (uses concrete failure example and highlights technical flaws).
