AOC can't hide her laughably grandiose, pie in the sky, Green New Deal FAQ Launch from the cloud, either

AOC probably got an "A" on this paper in college, lol.

 


Move America to 100% clean and renewable energy

Repair and upgrade U.S. infrastructure. ASCE estimates this is $4.6 trillion at minimum.

Meet 100% of power demand through clean and renewable energy sources

Upgrade or replace every building in US for state-of-the-art energy efficiency

Build charging stations everywhere

Build out high-speed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary

Replace every combustion-engine vehicle

Retrofit every building in America

It’s unclear if we will be able to decommission every nuclear plant within 10 years, but the plan is to transition off of nuclear and all fossil fuels as soon as possible

Protect right of all workers to unionize and organize

Economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work

Yes, we are calling for a full transition off fossil fuels 

Simply put, we don’t need to just stop doing some things we are doing (like using fossil fuels for energy needs); we also need to start doing new things (like overhauling whole industries or retrofitting all buildings to be energy efficient).

Ensure that all GND jobs are union jobs that pay prevailing wages and hire local

Create economic prosperity for all

Create millions of high-wage jobs and ensure prosperity and economic security for all

Clean air and water, climate and community resiliency, healthy food, access to nature, and a sustainable environment for all

Create affordable public transit available to all

Provide job training and education to all 

Provide high-quality health care, housing, economic security, and clean air, clean water, healthy food, and nature to all
