I suspect the Green New Deal zealots never managed high school math and think electricity can be brought in with a kite. America cannot afford the total failure their policies will create.
This not equivalent to the automobile taking over the function of the horse. Apples to oranges.
They think electricity comes from wall sockets. They don’t have the faintest idea of economics and being socialists refuse to accept it anyway. Engineering and the reality of the inviolate laws of thermodynamics are concepts they not only are profoundly ignorant of, but which they reject in their entirety because it contradicts their solar/wind fantasy.
