Ocasio-Cortez Slams Texas: That’s What Happens ‘When You Don’t Pursue A Green New Deal’

On Wednesday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) took a swipe at Texas political leaders, propounding that the suffering Texans are experiencing because of the freezing cold and concomitant power outages could have been addressed by her “Green New Deal.”

Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, “The infrastructure failures in Texas are quite literally what happens when you *don’t* pursue a Green New Deal. Weak on sweeping next-gen public infrastructure investments, little focus on equity so communities are left behind, climate deniers in leadership so they don’t long prep for disaster. We need to help people *now.* Long-term we must realize these are the consequences of inaction.”

You mean like California? This is because they spent billions on wind and Solar boondoggles.

An outright flaming idiot. And a terribly insensitive one.

They _have_ pursued a Green New Deal - about a quarter of Texas' electricity comes from wind turbines. And they're not spinning during this chill.

The lesson here should be clear - if you don't want people dying under extreme weather conditions, build plenty of gas-fired, coal-fired and nuclear power plants.

Where’s FEMA assistance from Biden and Pelosi and AoC for Texas?!

Democrats don’t care about red states?

So texas had to schedule power blackouts because there wasn’t enough supply because windmills froze, and AOC thinks Texas just needed more windmills to freeze.

Makes sense to me.

Reflexively leftists speak backwards. Blackouts caused by reliance on solar and wind are, in their speaking, caused by not relying enough on solar and wind.

I think the "Green New Deal" means a radical reduction in the number of people using power. Like by 99%.

What did she say? Absolutely nothing. More solar panels and windmills(which froze) would help?

How did EVs do in the extreme cold?

Well, you see, if it was 100% wind power, not every windmill would be frozen in Texas will be fine. /s

Another stupid leftist that suffers from foot in mouth disease. America would be better served if she went back to turning tricks at last call.

I don’t think AOC and her big stupid mouth would survive a trip to Texas and her braying this unbelievable idiocy in front of the millions of suffering people. Losing your power during extremely cold weather very likely does little for one’s sense of humor or tolerance for fools.
