(C.R3.01) THE INVISIBLE ENERGY COST OF DISPOSAL/RECYCLING
(C.R3.01.A) RECYCLING SOLAR
It's significant to note that the energy cost of disposal/recycling of photovoltaics is shockingly absent from all net-energy-gain estimates.
“We believe the big blind spot in the U.S. for recycling is that the cost far exceeds the revenue,” Meng said. “It’s on the order of a 10-to-1 ratio.” [01]
Interestingly, studies by Latunussa et al., 2016, Wambach, 2017, Aryan et al. (2018) and Corcelli et al. (2018) agree on the environmental significance of incinerating the halogenated plastics in the backsheet. Unfortunately, as reported by Wambach (2017), if the ‘halogen content is too high, then incineration in a specialized hazardous waste plant must be carried out’, in order to minimize the emission of potentially toxic air pollutants such as hydrogen fluoride (HF). Moreover, the above-mentioned studies provided little information on the impacts of incinerating PV plastics. For example, Corcelli et al. (2018) estimated that the incineration of waste panels releases 0.87 g/m2 of HF, while Latunussa et al. (2016) considered life cycle inventory data for general plastic incineration. [01.b]
Finally, it is confirmed that the low quantity of PV waste collected so far is discouraging investments in industrial processes for PV recycling. However, this situation is not a justification for delaying research in this field, or the problem of managing PV waste is simply postponed to the near future. Claims about the sustainability of PV technologies cannot be fully supported until efficient and environmentally-friendly recycling processes for them have been developed and are deployable. [01.b]

(C.R3.01.B) RECYCLING WIND
It's significant to note that the energy cost of disposal/recycling of wind-turbines is shockingly absent from all net-energy-gain estimates.
Xcel Energy estimates conservatively that it will cost $532,000 (in 2019 dollars) to decommission [NOT RECYCLE] each of its wind turbines [02]
(C.R3.02) EROEI & ESOEI
Here's some good news. When comparing energy-return-on-investment for both energy production methods and energy storage methods there are some interesting winners and losers.
(C.R3.02.A) EROIE (Energy Return on Energy Invested) [03]
EROEI 106:1 - Nuclear
EROEI 51:1 - Wind
EROEI 50:1 - Hydroelectric
EROEI 31:1 - Coal
EROEI 28:1 - Natural Gas
EROEI 21:1 - Parabolic Solar
EROEI 7:1 - Photovoltaic
EROEI 3.5:1 - Biogas
EROEI 1:1 - Ethanol
(C.R3.02.B) ESOEI (Energy Saved on Energy Invested) [04]
ESOEI 5:1 - Lead acid battery
ESOEI 32:1 - Lithium ion battery
ESOEI 704:1 - Pumped hydroelectric storage
ESOEI 792:1 - Compressed air energy storage
I would once again like to thank PRO for hosting this thought provoking debate.
(C.R3.03) SHOCKING CONCLUSIONS
Let's examine the debate resolution: "Alternative energy can effectively replace fossil fuels"
Don't get me wrong, I wish we could all switch to solar and battery powered cars and call it a day, I really do.
But that's not going to get us to the promised land. We tend to forget about all the strip-mining required to gather all those rare & precious rocks.
It does look like (based on the EROEI & ESOEI data) we need to focus on WIND and COMPRESSED AIR (both surprisingly efficient).
Also, there's a very strong case for microreactors. [05]
Let's examine the debate resolution: "Alternative energy can effectively replace fossil fuels"
Right, I'm going to still say "NO". No they can't.
Solar + batteries is shockingly inefficient. Wind looks promising, but we're still going to need oil and coal and natural gas in order to produce the metals and glass and resins and high-performance plastics required to produce turbines (not to mention all the energy we're going to need to dispose of/recycle the materials).

FDA.GOV SAYS
Surgical masks are made in different thicknesses and with different ability to protect you from contact with liquids. These properties may also affect how easily you can breathe through the face mask and how well the surgical mask protects you.
If worn properly, a surgical mask is meant to help block large-particle droplets, splashes, sprays, or splatter that may contain germs (viruses and bacteria), keeping it from reaching your mouth and nose. Surgical masks may also help reduce exposure of your saliva and respiratory secretions to others.
While a surgical mask may be effective in blocking splashes and large-particle droplets, a face mask, by design, does not filter or block very small particles in the air that may be transmitted by coughs, sneezes, or certain medical procedures. Surgical masks also do not provide complete protection from germs and other contaminants because of the loose fit between the surface of the mask and your face.

This method, as you've described it here, seems to rely pretty heavily on an "appeal to authority" and an "appeal to popularity". The question of "Is Die Hard a Christmas movie" is 100% OPINION (unless all parties agree on a rigorous and explicit definition of "Christmas Movie"). The conscious intentions and opinions of the people involved in the production of the movie itself are immaterial. For example, an author can intend to make a "GOOD" movie or book or piece of music and if you ask them (the author), they are likely to say the movie or book or piece of music they've created is, in-fact, "GOOD". The true and prerequisite and necessary "starting point" for any serious discussion must begin with a rigorous and explicit (QUANTIFIABLE) definition of "GOOD". All language is a hodgepodge of undefined variables. These undefined variables are the primary source of all miscommunication (differences of opinion).

The Standard Argument Against Free Will (TSAAFW)
An intentional (willed, goal oriented) action cannot be "free" (AND) a free action (indistinguishable from random) cannot be intentional (willed, goal oriented).
We "feel free" when we can fulfil our desires, but we do not intentionally choose our desires (we are slaves to our impulses).
"Free Will" is merely an emotion, not a logically coherent FACT.

Free of influence.
Free of predictability.
Free of history.
Even a little bit free.
Say an action is 1% FREE of influence. That 1% is still indistinguishable from random and incompatible with WILL. The part of your actions that are FREE cannot be influenced by "your will".
This renders your FREEDOM counterproductive (unpredictable, out of your control).

Debate Resolution: "The United States ought to institute a federal jobs guarantee"
PRO:
Speaking from a purely economic perspective (culturally we conflate money with morality), homeless people and prisoners cost the state roughly $20,000.00 per person per year. School children in the USA receive a subsidy of roughly $15,000.00 per child per year. Homeless people & prisoners & school children are unproductive members of society (jobless). It would be a great boost to the economy (culturally we conflate money with morality) if we found some jobs for these individuals (since we also tend to conflate laziness with immorality).
Of course a "jobs guarantee" probably doesn't mean "mandatory labor camps".
CON:
Speaking from a purely economic perspective (culturally we conflate money with morality), a deep, primal fear of becoming homeless and a deep, primal fear of being sent to prison contributes immensely to economic productivity. This fundamental and essential primal fear is what keeps the working class (80% of the country) going to jobs they hate, overlooking safety violations, taking verbal abuse from customers and managers, and accepting extremely low wages (keeping consumer prices competitive).
If these workers were "guaranteed a job", then they would walk away from these wretched, dead-end, often physically dangerous jobs and the nation's entrepreneurs would go out of business. These businesses would probably be replaced by government-run replacements because the government would have a huge surplus of employees due to their "jobs guarantee". This would lead to a totalitarian state, and everybody knows that totalitarian state = teh evil.
Therefore, "The United States ought to institute a federal jobs guarantee" = "totalitarian state" = evil.

New AI can guess whether you're gay or straight from a photograph

The study from Stanford University – which found that a computer algorithm could correctly distinguish between gay and straight men 81% of the time, and 74% for women – has raised questions about the biological origins of sexual orientation, the ethics of facial-detection technology, and the potential for this kind of software to violate people’s privacy or be abused for anti-LGBT purposes. ***

We gather data, check it for logical coherence and efficacy.
We (as individuals) are the origin, our individual curiosity is ground zero.
When you become intellectually aware of your own mental framework and moral instincts.
That is the moment from which you can build outwards.
The point I'm trying to highlight here is that we do not need to know, "the origin of the cosmos" BEFORE we can figure out what to eat for lunch.
Our internal models are built from inside us.
Epistemologically, imagine you are an orphan growing up on a distant planet.
You don't need to know who your parents were and or what they believed or what they thought of you in order for you to find lunch.
We all start with OURSELVES.
You (your earliest flicker of self-awareness) is the origin of you.
Now, you may hear some stories about some god($) or whatever and decide that those are "true" and relegate yourself to "worm" status.
But YOU did that to YOURSELF.

Since Coin Center’s inception in 2014, we’ve made the narrow application of the BSA a priority. We have argued repeatedly that the only activities performed using cryptocurrency that should trigger surveillance obligations are those in which a person or business has actual control over the cryptocurrency of another person (their customer) and acts on their behalf. This mirrors traditional financial services — we expect that banks (who hold people’s dollar accounts) will be subject to the BSA, but we don’t expect safe manufacturers (who simply build tools that allow persons to hold their own cash or valuables) to be subject to the Act.
The same should be true with respect to cryptocurrency business: only custodial wallet and exchange providers like Kraken and Coinbase should be required to comply with the BSA, and entities that are not third-party custodians, such as individual holders, software developers, miners, full nodes, and multi-sig providers (assuming they don’t have sufficient keys to transact) should never be subject to the BSA.
Working alongside the Uniform Law Commission, we developed model language to define the custodial act specifically so that there is no confusion over to whom regulations should apply. Only those with “the ability to unilaterally execute or indefinitely prevent a cryptocurrency transaction on behalf of a customer” should be regulated. While that model language was intended for consumer protection, it works in any context where defining custody and control is relevant.
Thus far, such efforts have paid off. FinCEN has offered clear guidance explaining that persons who don’t have “independent control” over customer funds will not be subject to the registration and surveillance requirements of the BSA. That guidance came in May of 2019, and we believe it is excellent. In it, FinCEN lays down the basic principle: you must have independent control over customer funds to be subject to the law, and FinCEN offers specifics for various activity fact patterns, including decentralized exchange tools:
