Ocasio-Cortez Demands 100% Renewable Energy in 10 Years
Breitbart ^ | November 15,2018 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 11/15/2018 12:27:08 PM PST by Hojczyk

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 York’s 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 Party’s 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 party’s 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.

If we are real lucky, Occasional Cortex will be the Speakerette of the House.

That should be great fun.

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 haven’t already.”

I don’t know...this is the party of Pelosi, Waters, Lee, and Hank Johnson. They tolerate stoopid pretty well.

I’ve never seen such arrogance, such hubris, such undeserved self-importance in a human being in my life.

Never?

If you think about it, CNN and the whole fakenews gang will have something to cover for the next two years.


And after that their on-air time will be subject to power rationing. But, if that time does not correspond to yours, you won’t be able to watch them ...

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...
