    Oh boy! Electric boats! No more fossil fueled transportation. Now if we can just figure a way to get that electricity out to the middle of the Atlantic to charge them batteries
    Oh course they could always go back to sail power.

        Oh yeah I forgot. But how we gonna melt all that glass needed for the panels with fossil fuel being outlawed. And no plastic either since we can't have oil anymore. Houston, we have a problem! We just need to think this thing though a little better.

          Why does it matter if it is in the FAQs, the footnotes, or the title?

          Wouldnt Sale Boats have even less of a carbon footprint?

                I just read both versions of the resolutions and did not see anything about farting cows, or bridges across oceans.

                And, to the other points, I upgraded the energy efficiency of my house, no real issue with that push. I have no issue with electric cars...I’m a capitalist, if the market supports it, manufacture away. And, no issue with public transportation developments or improvement - that’s part of infrastructure improvements which is something our Presidentvran in.

                There’s plenty to argue about with regard to other portions, e.g. wealth disparities, global warming, unions. But, nothing in her proposal discusses how the implementation will take place. The point of the resolution is to broadly identify an issue and recite a goal. A lot of the resolution discusses preserving the environment. Again, no issue with that goal. It also discusses respecting people...not opposed to that either.

                Do you have a copy of your source for us to read for ourselves?
                When one unveils a plan so outlandish and said plan includes little detail as to how these initiatives will be accomplished or paid for, it leaves the public with little choice than to speculate with a critical eye.

                You retro fitted your house to be energy efficient, great! What about all of the 100+ yr old homes that would need to be essentially leveled in order to accomplish this? What if your measures didn’t meet her standards? What if your house couldn’t accommodate the energy efficient methods she expects?

                How does she expect to revolutionize farming that requires heavy machinery that electric won’t support? Let’s just say John Deere creates an electric tractor, how do we get charging stations to millions of remote farming acres?

                I will say this, I appreciate that she has laid out her entire vision, we now know exactly what to combat. This plan isn’t democratic socialism, it’s communism plain and simple. When she says this plan exceeds the aggregate financial ability of the wealthiest individuals and businesses what she is really saying is it exceeds the totality of the American economy. Remember we are always reminded that 1% control all the wealth. So every dollar from the other 99% won’t exceed the cost of all of this.

                And let’s not forget, gunpowder is a product of fossil fuels, so you can 100% expect a ban of gun powder. She won’t go after guns, just the one component that makes it go bang

                  It doesn’t matter where it is. Read the whole thread for context...I looked into what the OP posted by reading the actual GND legislation/resolution and it wasn’t there.

                  Now, since I was directed to the FAQs (thanks Hntnsumpn), I see where those statements are coming from?

                  To be clear, few things in life are all bad or all good. The general propositions that I mentioned earlier are not bad. Now, when the implementation is unreasonable or impractical or just plain stupid, then of course there’s reason to resist those actions.

                    I Don't know. She is booked full of interviews for 2019 and Netflix gave her 10 million for a documentary. Someone wants her to have lots of face time. I don't think she'll be fading away as a memory anytime soon. Hope I'm wrong though.

                    Correction, netfilx paid 10 mil for a documentary about her. They did not pay her 10 million direct.

                      I love how Libs try their best to explain this extreme, unrealistic stuff. The lady on Hannity tried her best, but couldn't support any of the individual positions, but wouldn't discount the agenda. She just would say something like "it's just a starting point" (kinda like the abortion movement is only about "women's health").

                        I love her. Shes just awesome in every way. Shes not like most of the liberals that have a hidden agenda to destroy capitalism. She actually believes the talking points and is going to FORCE the dems to expose themselves. Strong sauce in the House.

                            She is the gift that keeps on giving. The face of the Democrats. Please, say more stupid stuff. 2020 is just around the corner.
