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.

This is probably the most ignorant and stupid person to ever be ion congress. (That’s saying a lot!)

But she is not there yet! She cannot afford it yet because she doesn't have her bribe money yet ... oops I mean salary! As for 'ever' that is a very high hurdle. Remember Hank Johnson is STILL THERE (Guam tip-over)!

All renewable energy resources require fossil fuel or nuclear backup generation. The sun doesn’t always shine, and the wind doesn’t always blow at all or at the required velocity range. And ALL electric utility companies have some kind of “obligation to serve”—and they have the legal rights to raise rates to cover their increased costs.

Occasional Cortex is absolutely STUPID and uninformed. She’s eventually going to REALLY blow herself up, her utter dangerous stupidity can be covered up for only so long.

Can’t be done in a thousand years, even then one size fits all fed boots would have to stomp on local, county, and state planning and zoning to do it.

I want her to tell us how she plans to do that? You do not demand when you do not know what you are talking about.

I can’t take much more of these dumb asses.

“Ocasio-Cortez Demands 100% Renewable Energy in 10 Years”

Uuuummmm, should I tell her or is someone else going to tell her?

Sweetie, you won’t be playing congresswoman in 10 years, so, your demand...uuuummmm, stuff it up your a$$, respectfully of course.

Your party is going to primary you in 2020, count on that.

Hugs and kisses, Ciao!

The media has pushed her out there as an omniscient rock star.

no wonder she believes she needs to comment on everything under the sun

They made her

They’re the ones who will break her

That’s what scares me. This may have a chance, Pelosi would pass this in hopes the ensuing veto would trigger a riot. JM2C
