Do they realize that they'd likely cause the US economy to FAIL if we went to zero carbon that fast? I know Audi is releasing a great new electric car in 2019. But these are baby steps. Oil/gas retail, oil/gas exploration, car manufacturers, auto parts suppliers and manufacturers to say nothing of ancillary things like GPS, leather, Bluetooth, chemicals, etc.. etc.... These industries can't retool or vanish in 10-12 years time.
And I'm getting pissed about this "fair share" bull$hit. What exactly is the "fair" number? I paid 15 times more income tax last year than the national average. that means I paid my share and the share of 14 other people. Yet I don't get 15 votes on election day, I don't get water out of my tap 15 times hotter, the police and fire don't come to my house 15 times faster. But I do it because that's the way it works. Fine. I'm privileged. I'd like not to be constantly taken to task for doing so.
Call her a filthy communist rat too. That label fits.
——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...
Release the unicorns..!
Simple question: why work if the government is going to steal youra production?
Bat-sh%t crazy. I’m starting to like her. And you know Pelosi will not be able to shut her up. Keep jacking your jaw, Hon.
It’s funny that this woman never gets the idea to go fix Venezuela. If My ideas were being implemented somewhere and failing spectacularly I’d pount out what they’re doing wrong...
This woman is nothing less than a stone cold Stalinist.
Oh - and BTW, the Dummycrats and Fake News Media are prepping her to run next year for the presidency.
Forcing an underage, Marxist on the nation will be the latest insult to the Republic the Deep State have forced on us
She is a turd.
I am wishing that the SCOTUS would rule that the 14th amendment equal protection clause requires a single tax rate to be applied universally to all tax payers.
/sigh
I will never get over America electing Obama twice! That’s why crazies like this woman scares me.
“Green New Deal” means they are going to steal your, “green” $!
PROOF POSITIVE that this idiot woman has $HIT for brains.
“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?”
IT WILL KILL OUR ECONOMY YOU STUPID F***ING B****!Then she goes on to compare herself to Abraham Lincoln! How can any single human being be so ignorant?! And arrogant at the same tine?!
Do they realize that they'd likely cause the US economy to FAIL if we went to zero carbon that fast?
The US economy would fail, while the rest of the world would move on. Recipe for disaster from which the US might never recover. We would need a Marshall plan from the kind Chinese. Lots of luck.
If the government taxed “the rich” at a rate of 100% it wouldn’t be enough to fund her plans!
If the government confiscated from “the rich” everything they owned it still wouldn’t be enough!
Is this not what thugs and racketeers do when they seize control of a neighborhood?
Democrats do not seem to understand technology, economics, or what their constituents really want. They just want to tax and spend, while ignoring the needs of the forgotten men and women who elected them.

Go for it, Dems. Ocasio-Cortez will be the gift that keeps on giving.
I am sure that economics is not a strong suit nor that they think that people can just take their wealth and leave.
Having talked to people who left Great Britain during the ‘brain-drain’ I was impressed with how smart people can figure out ways to move things that represent lots of money without technically violating laws. I know several now Boeing Engineers who were able to take their life savings with them via unusual methods.
