Promoting his newly unveiled $16.3 trillion "Green New Deal," 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders called for drastic action against oil companies.
"Fossil fuel executives should be criminally prosecuted for the destruction they have knowingly caused," he wrote Thursday on Twitter.
Sanders boasts his plan will reverse a climate "crisis" he likens to the crisis President Franklin Roosevelt faced when he launched the New Deal. The Vermont senator promises it will create 20 million jobs and achieve "100 percent renewable energy for electricity and transportation by no later than 2030 and complete decarbonization by at least 2050."
He says America must "directly invest a historic $16.3 trillion public investment toward these efforts, in line with the mobilization of resources made during the New Deal and WWII, but with an explicit choice to include black, indigenous and other minority communities who were systematically excluded in the past."
The plan will "pay for itself" over 15 years, he contends, warning the price of inaction is far greater.

And farmers too for the damage they knowingly did with cow gas.
And car makers who knowingly sold gas powered cars.
And dog groomers who use gas to heat their places of business.
And anyone with a gas powered stove.
The left is really insane.
True Social Justice would have Commies like the Big Bern convicted of Sedition.
If he goes anywhere other than walking bare footed and naked he’s aiding and abetting oil companies, the hypocrite.
Boinee is an insane panderer.

With rhetoric from a leading candidate like this, I really, really hope we don’t wind up in a shooting civil war.
This communist fruitcake is crazier than a sh!thouse rat....
Chris: Prosecute politicians as criminals
I want to see Bank Fraud Bernie and his equally corrupt wife doing some hard time in a Federal lock-up.
You can’t criminalize something retroactively, even if you thing it was a bad idea.
Sounds too much like Kulak class to me. After all, didn’t this person visit the Soviet Union on a honeymoon?
Now the COMMUNIST dictatorial side of their movement is out in the open.
