Fresh off her 2018 upset New York Democratic congressional primary win, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (better known as AOC) and Massachusetts Sen. Edward Markey announced they were launching an ambitious legislative plan called the Green New Deal. While people who had a grounding in economic thought found this new initiative to be naïve at best and destructive at worst, … Read more
One of the most prescient, intelligent, passionate voices defending rural lands and rural agriculture has been lifelong Democrat Wendell Berry (though Wendell will tell you that he has no allegiance to any one party). The current Democratic Party appears to have no use for the considered wisdom of this Kentucky farmer, just as it has … Read more
DPA standing for the Defense Production Act. This legislation was passed for national emergency reasons – specifically during times of war. However, Biden has declared that the Green New Deal (which Congress failed to pass for many reasons) is such a crisis to have industry work on, not material for war, but for insulating houses … Read more
We all know that the Green New Deal is an economic plan to advance socialism and has nothing to do with greening the planet. But let’s be like Democrat leaders and members of Congress and play make-believe. Let’s pretend it is about saving the earth.
A new report drills down into the real cost of the Democrat’s Green New Deal (GND) in five US swing states. New Hampshire is one of those states, and the bottom line is, you can’t afford it.
California is a train wreck. The environmentalists won’t let power companies manage trees. Power line problems during natural wind storms suffer damage. Raging forest fires wipe out thousands of cars and entire towns. So, PG&E turned off the power. What could go wrong?
Warning, Hypocrite Alarm! Green New Deal Backers! Hypocrite alarm! If those running for president really believe what they say, and that’s a big if, it is time to practice what you preach. Most of the Democratic Socialists running for president are pushing to implement the Green New Deal. They tell us it is supposed to … Read more
Every Marxist endeavor needs propaganda posters. Imagery that, to quote Comrade Ocasio-Cortez, mimics “Federal One, a US project that employed 5,300 artists that created & taught art to envision America’s future” for FDR’s New Deal.
Babylon Bee consistently delivers some of the best political satire on the internet. So, their spin on why anti-Semite Ilhan Omar might not support the green new deal is spot-on.
The Green New Deal was an FAQ document on AOC’s website. The document was full of extreme policies. The document was later deleted. The Representative from New York blamed the episode on an unidentified staffer. She took significant ridicule for the proposal. Why does it take a year for a socialist to admit the truth? … Read more
The Green New Deal is Dead. The US Senate voted against the bill 0-57. Not one Democrat would support the legislation but three voted against it and forty-three Democrats, including Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan, opted to vote present. Mitch McConnell didn’t let them off the hook.
New Mexico’s gun-grabbing governor just signed the Energy Transition Act. This bold and innovative grasp at the impossible requires the state to shift to 50% renewable energy by 2030 and 100% by 2045. A state that relies on massive amounts of oil and gas revenue to fund public education.
Well, the Green New Deal is a big hopping deal over at TreeHugger – have been spending a lot of time there creating content to bring back here but that will be tomorrow. In the mean time, here’s the second Part of the series: (H/T: Clear Energy Alliance) Part 1 here.
Just found this over at Powerline – quite cute and quite to the point. The Green New Deal is nothing more than a Eco-Socialists nocturnal emission. It has nothing to do with “greenness”, nothing about “saving the Earth”. Instead, it is all about money and all about control. Here’s a series that even Democrats should … Read more
The Green New Deal future is dark. It has to be. There will never be enough electricity. So candles might be a good investment. But if you are ready to buy in on the reality of it, I’d suggest putting your money into horses (transportation), Timber (heat), and Wool (warm clothing).
Ending Transportation as we know it is a feature of the Green New Deal. What we’ve come to consider modern vehicles like planes, trains, and automobiles would be mothballed. So, when four “experts” arrived in Washington to speak to Congress on the plan Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney had a question. How’d you get here?
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has announced that the US Senate is going to vote on the Green New Deal. Give everybody an opportunity to go on record. When that vote happens is unclear. But the upper chamber will take the temperature of elected Senators to see where everyone stands. On the green new deal. … Read more
with Beth Scaer: Yesterday I reported on how Jeanne Shaheen was taking a little “heat” from her environmental left. The Senator had not fired up the press-release mill to gush over the Green New Deal. This lack of public embrace disenfranchised climate cultists who, along with some national partners, targeted Democrats to pressure them into climbing aboard. … Read more
I can’t count how many articles we’ve published on the topic of Greene Jeanne Shaheen. She’s been at the forefront of regurgitating climate-cult junk-science for most of her political career. But what have you done for them lately? Not enough. Left-Wing Climate cultists are protesting outside her Nashua office on Monday.
Let’s call this Trump Derangement Syndrome taken to its logical conclusion. If the President won’t’ saddle the nation with the elites suffocating political-class agenda, we’ll do it ourselves.
