WALSH: The 5 Most Hilarious And Insane Things In Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's 'Green New Deal' Proposal
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez has finally released her
much-hyped "Green New Deal" proposal. The plan — if you can call it
that — is to totally upend and reshape our economy while eliminating all carbon
emissions. And she does mean all carbon emissions.
I cannot
offer an in-depth analysis of this proposal. The proposal itself is so vague in
parts, delusional in other parts, and unbelievably childish through every part,
that serious engagement with its ideas is impossible. It reads like something a
four-year-old in Soviet Russia may have dreamt up. All I can do, all I need to
do, is tell you exactly
what it says. You will soon realize why a thorough rebuttal is not
necessary.
Here are
five highlights:
1.
"Upgrade or replace every building in US for state-of-the-art energy
efficiency."
Yes, every
building. There are over
5 million commercial buildings in the U.S. Add that to the
approximately 127 million households, which is to say nothing of all the
schools and churches and hospitals, and you have a project that would cost
trillions of dollars and take decades, at a minimum, to complete. And we're
only getting started.
