Under the Green New Deal, within eleven years, the United States would be required to eliminate not merely nuclear power — which does not directly produce any carbon dioxide or air pollution — but all natural gas. Natural gas currently provides about 32 percent of America’s energy, and nuclear power produces another 10 percent.

The “Green New Deal” would also eliminate coal, which provides almost 18 percent of America’s energy, and liquid natural gas and oil, which generates another 28 percent.

In other words, within eleven years, the United States would need to replace about 88 percent of its current energy sources. This is not possible short of a societal collapse to agrarian subsistence. (At least the Renaissance fairs will remain the same.)

Leftism always leads in the direction of Pol Pot.
 
Leftism includes every political theory from democracy to communism, leftism is not a political theory it is a political position of a political theory. Using the term "leftist" really encompasses political theories not at play so it is an incorrect usage....Are you afraid to say Democrats?

Yet they speak the same language, and forward the same programs. Funny, that.

Leftism always involves taking from the citizens to make the elite wealthy. Always.
 
The "Green New Deal" is just another re-packaged Big Government, Big Tax, Big Deficit SCAM based on a hoax. Our economy is BOOMING, we don't need another wasted Stimulus, using borrowed government money, or tax dollars yet again confiscated from American citizens.

She's an admitted Democratic Socialist, which is a communist without the use of force, and which allows a bit of personal property to remain.

Hardly, going green is not part of the communist manifesto.

Unlike communists they make noise about not going after personal property too much....

Corporate property? Oh yeah that's to be owned by the government.

That's changing the topic. It's been about what they want...

From their website:

Social ownership could take many forms, such as worker-owned cooperatives or publicly owned enterprises managed by workers and consumer representatives. Democratic socialists favor as much decentralization as possible. While the large concentrations of capital in industries such as energy and steel may necessitate some form of state ownership, many consumer-goods industries might be best run as cooperatives.

What they want and what they get are two separate actions. I doubt they ever get anywhere. Just like ultra conservative desires.

Still changing the topic. Again, she's an admitted DS.

It's the modern incantation. They dress it up in a new sheepskin, but its the same wolf under there.

"Liberals demand that the social order should in principle be capable of explaining itself at the tribunal of each person's understanding." Jeremy Waldron

Everything that is good in America is a creation of liberal / progressive values. Conservatives have never done anything but whine as the about comments demonstrate. Whining is their primary trait. Sad.
