*Press-style soundbite:* "Close the green premium this decade"

*Reasoning:* CONDITIONAL unless resolution means innovation sweep, not austerity shutdowns.

*Round heading:* Round 1 — Conditional / qualified position

*Opening turn:* Climate is real; sweeping should mean massive R&D procurement to close the green premium in hard-to-abate sectors. However: Panic mandates without solved technology create backlash, leakage, and higher near-term emissions.

### Q3 · Policy Scope — Vote: **Abstain**

**Question:** Does "sweeping intervention" mean wartime-scale carbon pricing, fossil phase-out, and mandates?

*Press-style soundbite:* "Close the green premium this decade"

*Reasoning:* CONDITIONAL unless resolution means innovation sweep, not austerity shutdowns.

*Round heading:* Round 1 — Conditional / qualified position

*Reasoning:* CONDITIONAL unless resolution means innovation sweep, not austerity shutdowns.

*Round heading:* Round 1 — Conditional / qualified position
