The green New Deal: No plan like this has been seen since “The John Galt Plan”
“The Green New Deal resolution a 10-year plan to mobilize every aspect of American society at a scale not seen since World War 2 to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and create economic prosperity for all. It will:
Move America to 100% clean and renewable energy
Create millions of family supporting-wage, union jobs
Ensure a just transition for all communities and workers to ensure economic security for people and communities that have historically relied on fossil fuel industries
Ensure justice and equity for frontline communities by prioritizing investment, training, climate and community resiliency, economic and environmental benefits in these communities.
Build on FDR’s second bill of rights by guaranteeing:
A job with a family-sustaining wage, family and medical leave, vacations, and retirement security
High-quality education, including higher education and trade schools
Clean air and water and access to nature
Healthy food
High-quality health care
Safe, affordable, adequate housing
Economic environment free of monopolies
Economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work
National mobilization our economy through 14 infrastructure and industrial projects. Every project strives to remove greenhouse gas emissions and pollution from every sector of our economy:
o Build infrastructure to create resiliency against climate change-related disasters
o Repair and upgrade U.S. infrastructure. ASCE estimates this is $4.6 trillion at minimum.
o Meet 100% of power demand through clean and renewable energy sources
o Build energy-efficient, distributed smart grids and ensure affordable access to electricity
o Upgrade or replace every building in US for state-of-the-art energy efficiency
o Massively expand clean manufacturing (like solar panel factories, wind turbine factories, battery and storage manufacturing, energy efficient manufacturing components) and remove pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing
o Work with farmers and ranchers to create a sustainable, pollution and greenhouse gas free, food system that ensures universal access to healthy food and expands independent family farming
o Totally overhaul transportation by massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing, build charging stations everywhere, build out high- speed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary, create affordable public transit available to all, with goal to replace every combustion-engine vehicle
o Mitigate long-term health effects of climate change and pollution
o Remove greenhouse gases from our atmosphere and pollution through afforestation, preservation, and other methods of restoring our natural
ecosystems
o Restore all our damaged and threatened ecosystems
o Clean up all the existing hazardous waste sites and abandoned sites o Identify new emission sources and create solutions to eliminate those
emissions
o Make the US the leader in addressing climate change and share our
technology, expertise and products with the rest of the world to bring
about a global Green New Deal.”

I think the dems are priming O'Rourke. Texas Senate race was a trial baloon with 86 million invested to see how he did. He got a lot of millenians and he talks like a white version of a black preacher. I think they are keeping him with a low profile until 2020 when he will spring out and take over. I could see him with Harris as the VP pick to cover the black woman vote.
I havent listened to any real policies he is advocating. I would imagine its un-thought-out garbage at this point (not as bad as AOC who wants to end air travel- amazing how accurate AR was in Atlas Shrugged to predict whats going to happen with socialism
She has less than 12 years to write it.
No wonder Cortez took it down.
- Communism
- Whole Life/Permanent Life Insurance (ie, non-term)
- Global Warming (Now Climate Change)
- Comprehensive Immigration Reform (as if creating MORE LAWS that are not enforced will somehow help, it just gives them the INCH they need to get AMNESTY for the ones who came here... REGARDLESS of the fault of their own!)
- Common Core (being renamed by individual states to hide it)
- Green/Environmentalism (When people realized Environmentalists were ANTI-HUMANIST, the gig was up, they renamed it)
The left gets 3 Benefits:
- NEVER having to admit they were wrong (via controlling the media)
- Continuous Attacks against anyone challenging them (Deniers, I tell you. Climate Deniers, Truthers, Birthers)
- The appearance of being in alignment with the majority.. (again, because of the media)
Oh, I left out the Easter Bunny, Bambi, and a few others. My bad.
