Green New Deal Resolution Unveiled By Ocasio-Cortez, Markey, Dems.

[appalachiablue]

Feb. 7. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) introduces her plan to address climate change called a "Green New Deal," adding that she doesn't think House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was dismissive because it is a "green dream." The Green New Deal, which has so far been a campaign catchphrase about solving climate change and inequality in one fell swoop, just got real.
Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts are introducing a joint resolution laying out the main elements of a legislative plan. It describes a 10-year "economic mobilization" that would phase out fossil fuel use and overhaul the nation's infrastructure while building whole new layers into the existing social safety net.

1. This woman is a force of nature

She's not interested in anyone's opinion of what her limitations should be.

2. Excellent showing from

Rep. Ocasio-Cortex, I expect she is capable of great things. Of course, the "Green New Deal" she has proposed has my interest.

3. Very Good

Just the sort of thing I like to see: sweeping and comprehensive approaches to building the green economy and infrastructure. AOC is right that people are tired of half measures. A lot of people want a big vision and a big change in regards to climate change, getting off fossil fuels, and building a high-tech green economy for the 21st Century. More power to these folks and the Green New Deal.
