AOC Touts a Green New Deal Victory in a Delusional New Video
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has made a name for herself for a number of reasons, but one of the biggest is for her “Green New Deal” proposal. She partnered with The Intercept to create a video showing what America would look like in 10 years if the Green New Deal is adopted. And, naturally, AOC was the hero in the video.
“It’s often said you can’t be what you can’t see. I think there was something similar with the Green New Deal. We knew that we need to save the planet and that we had all the technology to do it, but people were scared,” Ocasio-Cortez saids in the narration. “They said it was too big, too fast, not practical. I think that’s because they just couldn’t picture it yet.”
The narrative AOC drives home: the fossil fuel industry, large corporations and politicians are to blame for problem of climate change. She suggests that companies, like Exxon, knew about the fossil fuel epidemic but chose to get rich over doing what was best for the planet. . .
Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal is expected to cost $93 trillion dollars or $65,000 per household. And, naturally, she never discusses what these types of policies will cost, probably because it’s better to be ignorant and “worry about it later” than deal with it head on.
What about people who work in logging or coal mining? There are areas of the nation that rely on those very industries to thrive. I live in a major logging area, where working for the mill is a great blue collar, highly respected job. It’s tough work but people are willing to do it. Those in my area rely on the logs to keep their homes warm during winter, to cut down on the amount they spend on electricity.
Climate change is here + we’ve got a deadline: 12 years left to cut emissions in half.
A #GreenNewDeal is our plan for a world and a future worth fighting for.
How did we get here?
