I propose that anything 10 billion light years away be protected.

“I propose that anything 10 billion light years away be protected”.
And it should be increased by 2 billion light years every year after. Just to be safe, you see.

They tried a variant of that in ST:TNG but it was something involving warp drive being used too much. Some kind of big time space thingy damage.
It had Dr.Astin from Quincy in it.

This is so stupid. Lets cut off our nose and our future because of idiocy. They have ZERO idea how vast the resources are in the volume of the solar system. These are insane eco warriors.

Yep.
Federation starships were from that point limited to no faster than warp 5.
But I noticed that they frequently broke that speed limit when it was inconvenient for the plot.
After that, it was completely ignored.

"...to avoid a future where all the resources are gone".
Where are they going to go?
To: BenLurkin
So now DC wants to rule space.
A thought experiment...come up with something that the US government does not claim a right or intent to rule over.

Kirk would have laughed at the idea of being limited using warp drive.
The Federation leadership was galactic level stupid anyway.

Researchers from the US Smithsonian Institution and Kings College London argue for preserving seven-eighths of the solar system as official 'space wildernesses.'
This is easily the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Luddites and fools can't be allowed to set policy on this matter.
To: BenLurkin
Property belongs to he who claims it and can defend his claim. The end.
