Green New Deal Would Have Prevented Texas Power Failures [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 21 February 2021 | John Semmens

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) says that "the power failures in Texas wouldn't have occurred if we already had the Green New Deal in place. Over the past century an increasingly industrialized and consumer-oriented society has become more and more dependent upon the comfort and convenience provided by capitalistic exploitation of natural resources. The aim of the Green New Deal is to unchain the people from their reliance upon these comforts and conveniences."

"If we were already living under the rules of the New Green Deal the cold and shivering that has shocked the residents of Texas would be the normal way of life," the Congresswoman contended. "Before the industrial revolution raped nature in order to make things easier for humans life was hard. Discomfort was an everyday event. Hunger was always a looming threat. Under such conditions people lived simpler lives. Because many had essentially nothing but each other there was greater harmony among them. Because there was nothing to steal crime was basically nonexistent."

"If people were rational they'd see the disaster that has befallen Texas as a warning to turn back from the selfish comforts of modern life," she said. "Unfortunately, they have been deluded by four years of 'make America great' propaganda. This is why the government needs to compel everyone to take the rational course. Humans may suffer, but the planet will be saved."

The basic premise of the headline is correct.

With the Green New Deal in full force, there will be no power to fail.

I guess it’s not a failure if you don’t have any. My Citation Jet didn’t fall today either.

Green power sucks.

I really do not think that there is a human being alive today that is not more intelligent than that bimbo.

No contrition on her part in over-correcting on Global Warming, eh? Typical narcissist.

That was the key to the satire:

"If we were already living under the rules of the New Green Deal the cold and shivering that has shocked the residents of Texas would be the normal way of life,"

The new green steal is causing global cooling. Trying to block the sun? How dumb is that?

But they’ll say it’s because of global warming.
