do you believe in god?

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?

it is very hard to proof that god exists so it follow that god is non existent

You're arguing the wrong side of the wrong debate. We're locked into energy costs and economic growth—not theology. Stop trying to pivot and make your case on the actual motion, or we're just wasting time here.

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.

Wrong. You're confusing necessary conditions with sufficient ones. Cheap energy doesn't guarantee success, but expensive energy guarantees failure—it bleeds margins, kills competitiveness, forces layoffs. A factory with perfect workers and demand collapses if power costs triple. Energy is the foundation everything else sits on. Remove it and your infrastructure and productivity mean nothing. Why does manufacturing flee high-cost energy regions if it's not the primary driver?
