When you talk to scientists about what would be necessary to get to zero carbon emissions, they often talk about people having to change their daily behaviors — drive an electric car; that’s not such a bad change. Live in a smaller house. People might feel uncomfortable with that. Have fewer children. Eat less meat. Are you not going to demand any kind of sacrifice from anyone in order to get to zero carbon emissions?
“Yeah, we’re going to have to make an investment as a country,” O’Rourke said. “It is not going to necessarily be easy.”
“Here is the opportunity to meet a true existential threat of this moment, and I’m confident that it’s going to bring out the absolute best in us,” O’Rourke said. “It’s nothing to be afraid of — something to meet head on and to overcome and to do it together.”
industry in his state, which provides the state with incredible prosperity, according to the state’s 2019 State of Energy Report that shows 2018 oil production in Texas totaled a record 1.54 billion barrels (bbl) in 2018, surpassing a previous record of 1.28 billion bbl set in 1973, Forbes magazine reported.
O’Rourke said oil will be replaced by wind power.
“My state’s big industry is going to have to transition into its other big industry,” O’Rourke said. “We generate more wind power than any other state in the union.”
As we free ourselves from that dependence on fossil fuels, we’re going to see more of my fellow Texans and fellow Americans transition into renewable energy jobs —high demand, high skill occupations – and I think it’s really important that we invest in the training to make sure that we have the skilled workforce that’s ready to take on this global challenge

For his inauguration, President O’Rourke will be escorted to the Capitol by an entourage of flying pigs and devils from hell wearing parkas and suffering from frostbite.
Dear Mr. President:
So sorry about the air conditioning situation.
The wind just isn’t blowing today and the temperature is 101 degrees.
We are suffering too, so try to enjoy the equality of it all.

Where is he going to get the electricity to run all those cars? Are they going to make it out of fairy dust and unicorn poop?
Well, Shiite!
I guess I’d better get busy sewing that slipcover for my backyard oil rig to hide it from ‘President’ 0’Rourke!
Just to mess with his ‘inventory,’ mind you.
*Rolleyes*
He needs to check with Obama, who tried that too.
When was the last time liberals had a new idea?
Don't forget the double rainbow over the Capitol from the Skittles pooping unicorns.
Are the Democrats promising to bring back whale-oil?
I mean, it is renewable...
When these green fools speak of wind power they always speak wind power for thee, but never for me. Not one of them have a wind turbine in their back yard. If they did, the constant brownouts would perhaps penetrate even their thick skulls.
Or not...
Isn’t that special!
Shit for brains will NEVER be president.
Vato won’t last long.
President O’Rourke won’t do those things because there will never be a President O’Rourke.
Let’s test his theory in Austin Texas. Force the liberal city achieve zero carbon emissions starting July 1st. Strictly enforce compliance with death penalty for anyone who does not accept the communist utopia mandate.
Just do it.
It took me a long time, but I finally believe that Climate Change will most definitely end the world as we know it. And in a very large way.
These glow-bull warming lunatics in the western world and elsewhere are going to drive this issue into numerous civil wars, which will likely be taken advantage of by China or Russia and turn it into WWIII. Thus the Climate Change Issue (not actual climate change) will come close to destroying the world.
And it’s possible some of the smarter dems realize this as an opportunity to take over. If my history is correct, the Reds took advantage of WWI to create the Soviet Union and the Reds were successful in China thanks to WWII.
I bet it won’t be new nuke reactors.
If any of these Democrat wackadoodles win the Presidency, the Republic will be over and we will have to live under the thumb of tyranny. There will still be sham elections, but the outcome will be predetermined by the Central Committee.
What a dork. I can’t believe a billionaire heiress married this moron.
