Ocasio-Cortez’s climate plan would reduce U.S. carbon emissions to zero — and eliminate the use of fossil fuels — within 12 years.
“It’s going to require a lot of rapid change that we don’t even conceive as possible right now,” she said. “What is the problem with trying to push our technological capacities to the furthest extent possible?”
When Cooper suggested her plan to pay for it was “radical,” Ocasio-Cortez embraced the label.
“Well, I think that it only has ever been radicals that have changed this country,” she said. “Abraham Lincoln made the radical decision to sign the Emancipation Proclamation. Franklin Delano Roosevelt made the radical decision to embark on establishing programs like Social Security. That is radical.”

Since electricity is manufactures using exactly the kinds of things she wants to suddenly be made illegal, not to mention the fact that in many different areas of this nation wind and solar power won't produce ANY energy at all, just WHAT does this Cretin imagine is going to be readily available to power everything we use?
Can't we somehow just send her to Venezuela?
If only, but I doubt it.
One of those circling the toilet bowl. An Ally McBealism.
Guess who should be flushed down it.
How Progressive of her....
I like accidental kotex.

Ocasio-Cortez floats floater 70 percent tax on rich to pay for 'Green New Deal'
She apparently doesn’t realize the rich are now supporting the Democrats. Watch out crossing the road tonight.
Call her a filthy communist rat too. That label fits.

Dangerous combination of ignorance and arrogance.
In the same vein as Obama.
Notice she said that earners of 0 to 75K would pay 10 to 15%
I wonder how the 50% that pay no taxes now will receive that.
——Ocasio-Cortez’s climate plan would reduce U.S. carbon emissions to zero — and eliminate the use of fossil fuels — within 12 years.-——
Anyone who actually believes we can eliminate fossil fuels in 12 years need to be institutionized....
That is so far out of the range of possibilities, one is so ill educated on basic science or insane...
Tax the rich is all talk, although Occasional Cortex probably hasn’t figured it out yet.
They will never hurt the donor class. This would hit the middle class. Think France.
JFK would be a right wing extremist today.
His party has gone full on communist.
What’s even more dangerous is the absolute idiots that support her.
If you need a laugh, or want to cry, read the comments here. Democrats are beyond stupid. 8 years of lies from the Kenyan Usurper have made them extra-stupid.

Simple question: why work if the government is going to steal youra production?
