GENERAL ASSEMBLY PROPOSAL
ID: chester_pearson_1406854752
On Hydraulic Fracturing
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.
Category: Free Trade
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Chester Pearson
Description: The World Assembly,
Defines hydraulic fracturing as the fracturing of a rock formation via pressurized liquid for the purposes of extracting hydrocarbon resources otherwise irrecoverable from said rock formation,
Noting recent attempts to place severe restrictions upon the process of hydraulic fracturing within member nations,
Believing the process of hydraulic fracturing an economically viable option to obtain hydrocarbon resources otherwise irrecoverable by conventional production methods,
Thus seeking to enact a sensible policy, which allows for the continued use of the hydraulic fracturing process within nations that wish to allow its continued usage,
The General Assembly hereby declares:
Legislation upon the process of hydraulic fracturing shall be a matter of national purview,
Member nations shall not place unnecessary restrictions or tariffs upon any hydrocarbon products solely on the basis of their production via the process of hydraulic fracturing,
Member nations shall refrain from conducting hydraulic fracturing operations if they have the reasonable probability of affecting another nation, unless both nations agree to said hydraulic fracturing operations.
I am surprised to see a blocker from Chester Pearson, but it does seem to be a good step for National Sovereignty. I have approved it and suggest voting in favor of it when it comes to vote.
