U.S. Representative-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is demanding that the U.S. commit to shifting 100% of its energy consumption to renewable energy in ten years as part of a Green New Deal she is demanding party leaders support.
Politico reported Thursday that Ocasio-Cortez, the democratic socialist from New Yorks 14th congressional district, is demanding that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi back her demand for 100% renewables as a price for support in the Democratic Partys leadership struggle.
Incoming liberals, led by Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, are demanding Pelosi go beyond her promise to revive a select committee on global warming; they want her and the rest of the Democratic Caucus to back an ambitious plan to transition the economy to 100 percent renewable energy in a little more than a decade.
But the partys chairmen-in-waiting are pushing back on the idea that even a new select committee would be necessary, arguing that the existing Energy and Commerce, Natural Resources, Transportation and Science committees have the tools they need to address climate change.

AOC is a fool ... a REAL visionary would have demanded 100% “renewable” energy in FIVE years ...
Ocasio-Cortez for Speaker! Pubbies get behind this!
If we are real lucky, Occasional Cortex will be the Speakerette of the House.
That should be great fun.
Will someone please tell these morons that there is no such thing as renewable energy!?!?!?
We can put her silliness on display if we just nominate her for Speaker. Pubbies get behind this. It works on so many levels!
She needs to be the speaker!
She’s about as bright as that Congressman who believes Guam will tip over and capsize.
It will be amusing to see what kind of accident the democrats decide she will die from.
Wont be a brain injury thats for sure
LOL! In a sad way. We here in Calvada/Nevafornia (your choice for the new state name) just put it in the state constitution that all energy here will be minimum 50% renewable by 2030. Yes, there are enough Fidiots to have voted yes for that. If we don’t make it??????? Didn’t see what the punishment will be.
“I had the same thought. The Democrats will quickly tire of her act, if they havent already.”
I don’t know...this is the party of Pelosi, Waters, Lee, and Hank Johnson. They tolerate stoopid pretty well.
What is the standard for “renewable?”
Never?
If you think about it, CNN and the whole fakenews gang will have something to cover for the next two years.
LOL. Ok, let me add “at such a young age.”
At least the Mooch didn’t develop it until her 40s.
A O-C, I demand you to go F yourself. By the way, how’s the solar energy weather today in the Northeast? Are you going to shovel your solar panels when it is icing or have snow on it? You, A O-C could make Maxine look like a Rhodes Scholar...
“is demanding that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi back her demand”
Demanding Pelosi obey her demands! This one is gonna be a fun one to watch as she pisses off the leadership.
Is anybody listening to this wild-eyed retard?
That was in “Dirty Dancing”, wasn’t it?
yes.great tune
