Enthymeme 1: Increasing and standardizing incentives given by the federal government to private companies and landowners investigating windmill technology will make America more competitive in foreign markets, and will make America less dependent on traditional resources which are harmful to the environment.
*Yes, I am now noticing that this enthymeme will not really work.
Enthymeme 2: Increasing the incentives given by the federal government to companies investing in windmiss techinology will make the united States less dependent on traditional energy resources that are harmful to the environment because developing energy source companies will have the funding neeeded to start their own windfarms as well as the financial motivation to do so.
*Ok, I know it needs a little work, but it is a start.
Pros and cons for my argument.
Pros
-Traditional resources are running low. We need to investigate and take advantage of other resources.
-America has great wind power potential.
-No pollutant side effects.
-Many European countries very successful with this technology. We are falling behind.
-Later when we are forced to invest we will have to depend on other countries for supplies and technology. Better to take care of the issue now rather than try to catch up later. Preperation.
Con
-Expensive
-although windmills are clean sources of energy, there are pollutants involved with the construction of windmills.
-Other forms of energy are possibly more productive and efficient.
-Countries with windmill energy generally pay more.
-Standards of windmills-people putting up cheap useless ones just for the gov check.
*The motivation of profit vs. financial motivation (ability)
