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.

Occasional Cortex is absolutely STUPID and uninformed. She’s eventually going to REALLY blow herself up, her utter dangerous stupidity can be covered up for only so long.”

Actually there are many libtards who do not realize that electricity comes from hydro, coal or petroleum. Those electric Priuses run on magic juice. Maybe squeezed out of unicorn horns or somesuch place.

Wow!

She can tie in with Bernie about free college, with Gore about greening, with Oprah about womanhood and with Hogg about gun control.

If the House has a dining room like the Senate...wait, it’s probably just a cafeteria...it needs to stock Tide Pods for this airhead and her freshman colleages.

at age five I managed to start the washing machine

When I was five, the washing machine consisted of a rack; and no, we didn't have one.

It's alwy’s about ‘’demanding’’ with these Communist bastards. Never working for anything. It's always demanding. Demanding this and demanding that. Spoiled , potentially murderous “Lords Of The Flies’’.

LanaTurnerOverdrive commits a rare prediction: Ocasio-Cortez will be rebuffed at every turn by Democrat party leadership. She has a big mouth and not enough brains to edit herself. Her resulting “calls to action” will get her arrested and “retired” from Congress.
