Elizabeth Warren Proposes a Green New Deal for the Ocean

Senator Elizabeth Warren envisions a future where our cars don’t run on gas but on the algae growing in our seas. That’s according to her “Blue New Deal” proposal out Tuesday that’s essentially a Green New Deal for the oceans. And what goes in our cars is only one quick example of the ways she would transform our relationship with the sea if she wins the presidency.

This idea of a Blue New Deal has been floated earlier this year. But Warren, whose array of comprehensive climate plans is really quite impressive, is the only presidential candidate so far to put out an oceans-focused environmental plan. Beyond algae for cars, the plan includes investing in efficient shipping ports and marine protected areas. And it couldn’t have come at a more timely moment.

As an engineer with multiple degrees and having been in the renewable energy business for now 30 years there’s a quick overview of renewable energy options and which work and don’t work

1- Photovoltaics are absolutely the best source of energy solar energy

2- Wind only works on a very large scale and only in very windy areas

3- Small hydroelectric works excellently but you have to have a significant drop in height and a constant flow of water on your property

4- Solar thermal works very well and is very in lexpensive but doesn’t work in the winter

5- Titdal energy only works in areas with very significant tides like the bay of fundy in Canada. He have to have a large bay which you can damn off as well

6- Wave energy is extremely difficult and it’s not realistic

7- Biomass consisting of agricultural wastes anything from the ocean like LG pictured here corn turned in death and off and what not are all dependent on photosynthesis to start which is only about 1% efficient

Furthermore any of these sources take energy to transmit the biomass into another form of useful energy i.e. ethanol

7- Ocean thermal energy conversion (Otec) Is doable but again you have to have a significant difference in thermal layers of the ocean with a fairly short distance offshore

What does Authoritarian Ocasio Cortex (h/t David Knight) say?

Heads up Islam. BOLO for Greta Thorn-in-our-side preaching the NEW RELIGION. She might come with an entourage from the UNaccountable bureaucrats base camp headed to Mecca and Medina. Of course to you, she might only be a gnat-on-the-azz of the goat you are humping.

Oh and speaking of Great Satan...let’s get new “Milestones” and be specific. This general divide & conquer from creeps is BS.

“This is the only good idea I’ve heard from her. There’s a huge algae area in the Gulf off of the mouth of the Mississippi River that seems to me might be harvested. Would serve two purposes, make fuel, clean up the Gulf.”


Yeah... that all sounds great, but she’s not interested in cleaning up anything, or getting you any economical fuel source for your auto. She’s figuring out how to separate you (and all hard working Americans) from your/their hard earned wages. She’s a demonRAT, that’s what they do!

...your observations are right on....! If my feeble memory serves me, under the Obungo administration, wasn't there a big push to make jet fuel for the military out of algae or some such....? IIRC, it cost something like five times as much per gallon of this phony phuel as a gallon of authentic JP-8 or whatever it was that it was supposed to replace....

“She wants to make slaves out of algae.
