Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren’s suite of Green New Deal policies would create up to 10.6 million jobs over the next decade, according to an independent analysis the campaign promoted on Friday morning.
The study, by the left-leaning think tank Data for Progress, calculated that the Massachusetts senator’s plan to spend $3 trillion on clean energy and transitioning the military and other federal programs away from fossil fuels would create at least 5.4 million jobs over the next decade. But that number could top 10.6 million when counting the way her proposals could ramp up domestic manufacturing of batteries and renewable-energy hardware that could be exported.
“The focus on manufacturing and the way her office situates manufacturing and renewables surprised me in that it could become a huge locus for jobs,” said Data for Progress senior fellow Kira McDonald.
The research draws on the work of economists Ha-Joon Chang of Cambridge University and the late Alice Amsden of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, whose work show that an active industrial policy like the Green New Deal “has as a rule been associated with economic success stories and development ‘miracles’ historically.” Using prior analysis from the Economic Policy Institute, the study projects how new federal goals would increase demand in specific sectors.

There was just a hysterical article in our local paper by a university professor about how the sea level here was going to rise 3 meters by 2050 and flood us out.
You can go on the NOAA website and figure out how fast sea level actually rises. Here the actual increase is about 6 inches per century. Since 3 meters is almost 10 feet, it will take about 2,000 years for sea levels here to rise 3 meters.
Comes the revolution, you will eat organic bug-ridden strawberries and fake vegan soy cream.
And end 21.2 million jobs. Or was that ‘buh-zillion’? :-) Still lying after all these years.
