Democrats Introduce New Green New Deal Bill Calling Fossil Fuels 'Racist'
https://pjmedia.com ^ | MAR 22, 2021 4:04 PM ET | BY BRYAN PRESTON

The Hill reports that Rep. Always On-Camera (D-New York) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Not An Actual Cherokee) have introduced a new bill that would “invest” $500 billion to “create” “green jobs.”

Use of multiple scare quotes is intentional. Neither the race-hustling professor nor AOC know much about job creation, having never created any meaningful number of non-government jobs.

Government “investing” necessarily entails government taxing, or government just printing more money, which neither the Democrats nor The Hill note. Those green jobs supposedly already exist anyway; why else would John Kerry tell the Keystone XL pipeline workers whose jobs his boss destroyed to go build solar panels?

The so-called green economy also relies extensively on mining and minerals processing, which aren’t very clean processes. In fact, those technologies depend on rare earth minerals, which mostly cannot be mined in the United States due to environmental regulations. They’re mined extensively in China, which doesn’t regulate as heavily, leaving the mining operations dirtier.

Buried in the two leftists’ announcement is this little gem.

“The BUILD GREEN Infrastructure and Jobs Act will make the big federal investments necessary to transform our country’s transportation system, confront the racial and economic inequality embedded in our fossil fuel economy, and achieve the ambitious targets for 100% clean energy in America.”

“…confront the racial and economic inequality embedded in our fossil fuel economy…”

I’m sorry, but that’s insane. It’s so illogical it’s barely possible to critique it, but here’s a try.

Congress needs to turn off all electricity in all federal buildings—they need to get serious in this fight against racism!

We are all Alice now. The Red Queen is going to triumph if we can’t find a way to counter this insanity.

We may have to become the Cheshire Cat to beefundle them.

Is digging, then subsequently filling in holes considered a green job?

There is no such a thing as a fossil fuel. I can prove it mathematically.
These so called people need to be called out on this at every opportunity.

...confront the racial and economic inequality embedded in our fossil fuel economy...

I'm used to politicians' blathering being nonsensical, but this one is over the top. I guess that where everything is racist, pumping gas can be too...

“Crude oil = “Black Gold”!”

Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed

A poor mountain man, barely kept his family fed

But then one day he was hunting for some food

When up from the ground come a bubbling crude

Oil that is, Black Gold, Texas T

“... confront the racial and economic inequality embedded in our fossil fuel economy...”

Oil, natural gas, and coal are owned an operated by whites. Under this plan, solar will owned by Chicoms and operated by whites. Much better racial score!

Most politicians are sociopaths, and the minority that aren’t are psychopaths.

However, each election cycle the proportion of psychopaths to sociopaths increases.

Her idea is to late Biden already did that with the border invasion farm workers unlimited act.
