Ocasio-Cortez Demands 100% Renewable Energy in 10 Years
Breitbart ^ | November 15,2018 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 11/15/2018 12:27:08 PM PST by Hojczyk

U.S. Representative-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is demanding that the U.S. commit to shifting 100% of its energy consumption to renewable energy in ten years as part of a “Green New Deal” she is demanding party leaders support.

Politico reported Thursday that Ocasio-Cortez, the “democratic socialist” from New York’s 14th congressional district, is demanding that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi back her demand for 100% renewables as a price for support in the Democratic Party’s leadership struggle.

Incoming liberals, led by Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, are demanding Pelosi go beyond her promise to revive a select committee on global warming; they want her and the rest of the Democratic Caucus to back an ambitious plan to transition the economy to 100 percent renewable energy in a little more than a decade.

But the party’s chairmen-in-waiting are pushing back on the idea that even a new select committee would be necessary, arguing that the existing Energy and Commerce, Natural Resources, Transportation and Science committees have the tools they need to address climate change.

Can’t we just skip over this and move to the civil war phase?

Naw - instead of useful hot air to convert to free energy all you’d get is Auschwitz on steroids.

Maybe she should demand a working warp drive within ten years while she’s at it.

Why wait 10 yrs....make it happen now!

Well, see, this just shows that AOC has a better grasp on the realities of the situation than you do. It's like the NYC Sanitation Commissioner's plan to get to no landfill waste by 2030. In 2030 nobody will remember the 2018 slogan.

In the same way, AOC can milk the climate crisis for a year or two, then switch to something else long before anyone can ask her how the renewable energy plan is going. 10 years is 5 whole election cycles from now.

perhaps Occasionally Conscious should be reminded that 1) she is representing a very small district and, as a 2-yr Representative, needs to tend to the affairs of her very small district since that is what Reps are supposed to do, and, 2) for the first year at least, she will be dialing for dollars - her entire world 9-8, Monday through Saturday, for donations for the party. So she can save her hot air.

She’s going to run a hose from her mouth to a giant turbine, the hot air will provide free energy for all for decades.

You're close. It will go from the dome of the Capital Building. The backup hose will come from CNN headquarters.

With apologies to the late Art Bell, maybe we could tap the “zero point energy” produced by the vacuum in her head.

I suggest the utilities comply - for her district only. By 2020, she wouldn’t win dogcatcher.

It will be amusing to see what kind of “accident” the democrats decide she will die from.

She’ll commit suicide by shooting herself in the head 3 times.

I had the same thought. The Democrats will quickly tire of her act, if they haven’t already.
