Issue One :-

A deposit of oil has been found offshore, but the terrain is unstable and may result in an accident. The oil is of high quality, and the Petrohylem company wishes to extract it.

Option 1 : Extract the oil.
Petrohylem representative Jason Tollerton says that extracting the oil would be "a great boost to the nation, and that the oil is an opportunity that cannot be overlooked".

Option 2 : Extract the oil, but impose certain working conditions as to not damage the environment any more than necessary.
Environmentalist Susan Claireborn states that this option is important, as the eco-system around the area is rich in aquatic life due to it's unique terrain, which has forced new evolution. This diversity, she argues, should not be driven away by noisy machinery, or water pollution.

Option 3 : Refuse permission.
A human rights lawyer, David Clandes, advocates this option, as "the unstable terrain means the risk of an accident is too high, and that the workers lifes should not be threatened merely for oil. Instead, Petrohylem should be forced to find oil in a safer, more worker friendly environment."

Read the submission guidelines.

And make the options more concurrent in their structure with the ones already up. I tend to delete any issues I find where the options are just one sentence long.
