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.

A truly stupid human being has no concept of how stupid they really are, and how stupid they appear to other people. They could issue this nutjob registered STUPID papers.

Make it 18 months in order to stand up the necessary federal enforcement agencies and time to hire the hundreds of thousands of federal employees to oversee/regulate.

No, no, you'll need millions of people to stand up wind and blow to get the wind for steady energy. After all, if they are out there and "blowin' in the wind", they can't be at home using the oh so very expensive renewable energy, right? Its a twofer!

Alexandria Occasional-Kotex is going to be like a f@rt in a whirlwind in Congress.
She’s in for a rude awakening about how the RAT Party really operates. She thinks that it really operates for the benefit of the downtrodden.

This broad really cracks me up.

It’s been many years since I have been in college but she reminds me so much of the liberal know it all women I would encounter.

They had all the answers and the ideas but were actually not terribly bright. Still, they believed every ounce of nonsense that came out of their mouths.

At the rate she is going I don’t think she will live to get re-elected. She’s a lose cannon and she thinks that standing up to the leadership in her party will win her votes back home. The woman is not just stupid she is suicidal.

How about chaining her to a bicycle hooked to a generator that is linked to the grid. As long as she pedals and creates electricity she gets fed, how much is based upon the number of kilowatt hours of electricity she produces every day.

I’ve never seen such arrogance, such hubris, such undeserved self-importance in a human being in my life.

This stinky little upstart is going to PO the old timers real fast...

I was at a GOP breakfast when TN-3 Congressman Zack Wamp told the new incoming Senator Bob Corker just to sit quiet for the 1st few weeks and only give an opinion when he was asked...

Zack had been there since 1994 and knew how it went...

I’m sure Pelosi is not a fan of lil Missy...

Liberals could start by refusing to use electricity, “fossil fuels”, CO2 spewing wood burning stoves and fireplaces. Then they could give up any product that had evil plastics in them that were derived from oil. Since they claim that discarded plastic from American landfills are somehow getting into the oceans... it is doubly important that they give up plastic. Since steel producers use coal, natural gas and electric arc furnaces, they should also not use products with steel. And do not even get me started on aluminum... think of all the electricity made by fossil fuels used to produce aluminum. They also should not use wood products because that involves cutting down precious trees.

If liberals managed to do even half that, most of them would die and we wouldn’t have to worry about their BS anymore. MY wife says Amen to that.

That's what my mom said when at age five I managed to start the washing machine while she was on the phone.
