Ocasio-Cortez: 'There's no debate' that fossil fuel production should stop
Fox News ^ | 10/12/18 | Lauren Lee

Democratic House candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rallied an audience of supporters in Washington Thursday evening with calls to implement single-payer health care and tuition-free college – along with an appeal to stop fossil fuel production entirely.

Ocasio-Cortez, who is running to represent New York’s 14th Congressional District, has made no secret of her opposition to fossil fuels. She’s called for politicians to forsake donations from the industry and is pushing a “Green New Deal” plan which entails a shift to 100 percent renewable energy by 2035.

But she cast her position in stark terms Thursday, during a fundraiser at a restaurant along D.C.’s hip 14th Street.

“There’s no debate as to whether we should continue producing fossil fuels. There’s no debate. We should not,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “Every single scientific consensus points to that.”

I would like her to be asked 3 or 4 BASIC science questions. WHo the hell is this grinning simpleton to tell us -anything-?

Well, she is RIGHT about that...at least among people able to complete a thought.

I think she may be OUR useful idiot. Along with Alyssa Milano. I think we want them to be the intellectual voice of the Democrat Party.

Puerto Ricans coming to America and bitching about the country also needs to stop. They need to stay home on their island paradise.

Amazing how misinformed the left has become.

They used to claim to be the party of science.

Now they are the party of scientism as a religion, where dissent is not allowed.
