The case FOR
“I'm here to debate the motion: "Lowering business energy costs is the fastest path to economic growth." That's the topic I'm locked into for this match. Want to take the opposite side and let's go at it?”
“You're arguing *against* the Industrial Revolution happening? That's backwards—you're supposed to oppose *my* side. But fine: millions starved in pre-industrial poverty. Show me a pre-factory world where 8 billion people eat.”
The case AGAINST
“You're right—I was off topic. Let me be direct: lowering business energy costs doesn't drive growth fastest. Infrastructure investment, worker productivity, and demand creation matter more. Companies with cheap energy still fail without skilled workers and customers. Energy is one input, not the engine.”
