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

Posted on 10/12/2018 5:02:41 PM PDT by Libloather

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 assume that she will lead the charge by turning off her heat and electricity this winter?

She said: “There’s no debate...”

She meant: “There is no debate allowed...”

She has a college degree handed out like a supermarket coupon.

This makes her qualified in her own mind to lecture us like Einstein,Newton,Plato and John Adams rolled into one little egomaniac. With bug eyes and buck teeth.

Who among us would have the brass balls big enough to deny a college degree to a female student that has all the protected group boxes checked!

I don’t know where all the steel for her windmills will come from without diesel to power the mining equipment and the ships to transport the ore, and blast furnaces to refine it.

“The DNC Chairman says she is the “future of the Democratic Party.”

I must say that statement makes me feel very positive about the future...for conservatives!

Who needs to make more windmills. Once the resistance purges all the conservatives there will be plenty of power for the new masters...
