Energy Diversity Act
Category: Regulation | Area of Effect: Energy
This General Assembly,
Realising that previous WA legislation, particularly GA Resolution #357 Promoting of Clean Energy, implicitly withdraws its support for various energy sources and technologies that could aid in the reduction of harmful emissions,
Outraged that no support has ever been declared for Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) — a technology that would allow fossil-fuel-dependent states to achieve low emissions while maintaining their fossil fuel usage, as well as foster a transition towards cleaner energy sources at a less economically destructive pace,
Recognising that concerns of both long and short-term, local and international, economic and environmental sustainability, be answered wholly and coherently when positioning energy policy,
Acknowledging the varied economic, social, and environmental circumstances that face individual WA member states, and that different combinations of energy sources and technologies will suit each state,
Hereby:
- Urges member states to recognise the fact that all energy sources and technologies exhibit their own unique set of benefits and disadvantages,
- Concludes that the utilisation of a diversity of energy sources and technological options is the best course of action possible,
- Establishes the 'World Energy Authority' (WEA) as a semi-independent consultative and research-oriented body under the auspices of the World Assembly Scientific Programme (WASP),
- Charges the (WEA) to:
- Create and set sensible short-term and long-term international energy goals pertaining to the safety, reliability, affordability, and sustainability of energies;
- Serve as an active energy and climate policy advisor to WA member states;
- Act as the foremost international organisation in regards to the energy sector and of energy cooperation, amongst both WA member and non-member states, corporations, and various other entities;
- Cooperate with the Atmospheric Chemistry Establishment (ACE) in setting and enforcing emission targets;
- Enhance the safety, reliability, affordability, and sustainability of energies internationally through the institutionalisation of market mechanisms, the creation of regulatory agencies, the passing of further WA resolutions, the improvement of industrial standards, and by any other means necessary;
- Compile data over various indicators of past energy statistics;
- Prepare annual reports and forecasts in assessing the performance of the international energy sector at the present and in the future,
- Disseminate publications per any conducted research;
- Identify and recommend which combination of energies that are best suited for each WA member state, by taking into account various technical, economic, geographic, political, and other considerations;
- Launch and conduct diversification programs, through the research and development of various energy sources and technologies, followed by their eventual deployment and subsequent integration into the international energy system; and
- Address other issues relating to the energy sector;
- Demands that each WA member state establish a chief domestic energy agency — had none existed hitherto — which will be delegated similar roles to that of the (WEA), simply on a national level,
- Instructs the chief energy agency of each WA member state to:
- Produce data on domestic energy statistics for the (WEA);
- Liaise with the (WEA) on matters of concern and interest in regards to the energy sector;
- Comply with the emission targets set by the (ACE) and the energy goals of set by the (WEA); and
- Deliberate as to how such targets are to be best met;
- Encourages states to pursue their own measures, in the spirit of achieving above and beyond the set emission targets and energy goals, and
- Clarifies that this resolution will guarantee each WA member state a level of reasonable freedom to set its own individual energy policy, principally from actions not explicitly mandated in this resolution.

Persuaded by scientific evidence demonstrating that 'greenhouse gases' such as methane, nitrous oxides, trioxygen — and more notably — carbon dioxide, are said to be contributing to a 'greenhouse effect' within the lower atmosphere of planets; by absorbing and emitting radiant energy within the thermal infrared range, of which, coupled with the mostly unescaping visible radiation from a planet's star[s], gradually creates an observable net warming effect.
Alarmed of the unwanted consequences the scientific community has determined to be a result of such planetary warming, which range from the carbonisation and acidification of oceans, to the expected rises in sea levels, landmass desertification, an unprecedented change of precipitation patterns, a higher likelihood of droughts and heatwaves, as well as the higher prevalence of other weather and disaster-related events.
Applauding the role of previous WA legislation in enacting much-needed reform within the sphere of climate and energy policy.
Noting, however, that said previous legislation, particularly GA Resolution #357 Promoting of Clean Energy, implicitly withdraws its support of various other energy sources and technologies, emerging or existing, that could aid in the reduction of harmful emissions.
Outraged that, for example, no support has ever been declared for Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage technologies (CCUS). Which would allow fossil-fuel-dependent states to achieve low emissions while maintaining their fossil fuel usage, and possibly allow them to transition towards cleaner energy sources at a more steady and less economically destructive pace.
Acknowledges the varied economic, social, and environmental circumstances that face individual WA member states, and that different combinations of energy sources and technologies will suit each and every one of them.
Urges member states to recognise the fact that all energy sources and technologies exhibit their own unique set of benefits and disadvantages, and that it is both unfair and counterproductive to declare any specific one to be superior or inferior.
Clarifies that the primary motive in manifesting a response to climate change is in: (1) securing the future survival of the posterity; and, (2) their assured livelihood and quality of life.
Understands this clarification to be a reminder that concerns of both long and short-term, local and international, economic and environmental sustainability, be answered wholly and coherently.
Concludes that, by any parameter, the utilisation of a diversity of energy sources and technological options is the best course of action possible.
This General Assembly, hereby:
- Establishes the 'World Energy Authority' (WEA) as a semi-independent consultative and research-oriented body, under the auspices of the World Assembly Scientific Programme (WASP).
- Charges the (WEA) to:
- Create and set sensible short-term and long-term energy goals.
- Serve as an active energy and climate policy advisor to WA member states.
- Act as the foremost international organisation in regards to the energy sector and of energy cooperation, amongst both WA member and non-member states, corporations, and various other organisations.
- Cooperate with the Atmospheric Chemistry Establishment (ACE) in setting and enforcing emission targets, as articulated in GA Resolution #445 Greenhouse Gas Cap And Trade Program.
- Enhance the safety, reliability, affordability, and sustainability of energies internationally through the institutionalisation of market mechanisms, the creation of regulatory agencies, the passing of further WA resolution, as well as other means.
- Compile data over various indicators of past energy statistics.
- Prepare annual reports and forecasts in assessing the performance of the international energy sector at the present and in the future.
- Disseminate publications per any conducted research.
- Identify and recommend which combination of energies that are best suited for each WA member state, by taking into account various technical, economic, geographic, political, and other considerations.
- Launch and conduct diversification programs, through the research and development of various energy sources and technologies, followed by their eventual deployment and subsequent integration into the international energy system.
- Address other issues relating to the energy sector.
- Guarantees each WA member state the freedom to set its own individual energy policy and to choose its level of cooperation with the (WEA).
- Encourages states to create their own legislation, and to pursue their own measures, in collectively meeting emission targets and energy goals.
