Joe Biden’s Green Free Lunch

Mr. Biden wants the U.S. to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Yet he offers little specifics about how to get there.

If Mr. Biden’s proposal isn’t quite the Green New Deal, you can see a likeness: It would regulate gasoline cars out of existence, forge a new transcontinental railroad, retrofit half of U.S. buildings within 15 years, and restrict development on nearly a third of the country’s land and water. Mr. Biden’s plan calls the Green New Deal “a crucial framework for meeting the climate challenges we face.”
But at least Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the socialist Congresswoman who muses about phasing out air travel and eliminating cows, is honest about some of the costs she would impose. Mr. Biden calls for “drastic action” and says “the next 12 years will determine the very livability of our planet.” Yet he fails to reckon with the economics implied by his rhetoric.
Instead of rallying Americans to make sacrifices to save the Earth, he suggests that banning cheap energy will help the middle class. “If executed strategically,” the plan says, “our response to climate change can create more than 10 million well-paying jobs.” It’s as if green investments are a perpetual-motion machine.
*** Mr. Biden is ducking the reality that transforming American energy on the scale he imagines will have enormous costs. These include higher electricity prices, more expensive cars and homes, and countless lost jobs in the fossil-fuel industry.
The political problem for Democrats on climate is that their grand designs are popular on the coasts but would cost the jobs and livelihoods of the working-class Americans Mr. Biden claims he can attract from Donald Trump. Mr. Biden this week gave Mr. Trump an opening.

“If executed strategically,” Is the refrain of every commi huckster trying to make people believe 2+2=5.
First read it as “Joe Biden’s Grope Free Lunch”
THAT would be news...
It’ll never happen though.
That always works so well.
This may be settled science? ...the term "behavioral sink" to describe the collapse in behavior which resulted from overcrowding.
Among the males the behavior disturbances ranged from sexual deviation to cannibalism and from frenetic overactivity to a pathological withdrawal from which individuals would emerge to eat, drink and move about only when other members of the community were asleep. The social organization of the animals showed equal disruption. ...

Is that a “Green Free” lunch or a “Green” free lunch?
