I’d bet serious money that a fully-implemented Green New Deal would take us back 3-5 decades in living standards.
And anyone talking “make all cars electric, no more internal combustion engines”, who is not also talking a huge crash program to develop and deploy next generation nuclear electrical generation plants, is talking pie in the sky.
Not sure if your comment is pro nuclear or not, but a serious “green”wnwrgy program without nuclear is unrealistic. We currently have about 20% of electricity generated by nuclear but it is only 9% of installed capacity. It’s uptime is well over 90%.
Unfortunately the fuel comes from offshore mostly from Russia and Uzbechistan, although Canada and Australia anre large suppliers too. We don;t produce what we should strategically if we were to ramp up.
A true switch to all green energy is impossible and it would starve the country quickly into rebellion.
