She introed the "Green Dream" in the AM.......but by Feb. 7 afternoon, the Democrat removed the thing from her website
without explanation....following backlash and even ridicule over the G/D's radical plans including a call to
"eliminate emissions from cows or air travel" — and to provide “economic security for those unable or 'unwilling' to work."

‘I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD I NEARLY CRIED’:
WSJ’S KIMBERLEY STRASSEL CAN’T GET OVER GREEN NEW DEAL

The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberley Strassel was not impressed by the rollout of the proposed Green New Deal — in fact, she argued that “if a bunch of GOPers plotted to forge a fake Democratic bill showing how bonkers the party is, they could not have done a better job.”

As Democrats rolled out the resolution, the commentary and criticisms rolled out as well. Strassel was firmly and decidedly in the camp of the latter.

"By the end of the Green New Deal resolution (and accompanying fact sheet) I was laughing so hard I nearly cried. If a bunch of GOPers plotted to forge a fake Democratic bill showing how bonkers the party is, they could not have done a better job. It is beautiful."

Strassel followed her initial tweet with a series of key points to illustrate her initial assessment. The facilities, solar panels, and turbines required to deliver “renewable electricity” on the scale described in the GND would take up more space than the entire state of California.......500k square km. Also note, govt (taxpayers) will pay for these—not private sector.
