    The Green Dream: What AOC’s Signature Policy Really Aims to Accomplish

    It isn't about science or the environment, it is about creeping socialism.


    The Green Dream: What AOC’s Signature Policy Really Aims to Accomplish

    Leading climate activists aren’t being serious about climate change — but they’re deadly serious about socialism.


    A
    t a rally in Washington, D.C., this week, Senator Edward Markey described the scope of his Green New Deal: “Racial injustice, economic inequality, housing, education, jobs, and climate change. It is all intertwined.” Co-sponsor Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez chimed in, saying, “We’re going to transition to a 100 percent carbon-free economy that is more unionized, more just, more dignified and guarantees more health care and housing than we’ve ever had before.”




    Translation: Every progressive social program under the sun can now hitch a ride on the climate bandwagon. The Green New Dealers are serious about socialism. But are they serious about climate change?
    There are reasons to doubt it.

    The Green New Deal will impoverish America

    ‘The interesting thing about the Green New Deal is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all… Do you guys think of it as a climate thing? Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.’ So said Saikat Chakrabarti, former chief of staff for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and generally acknowledged author of the Green New Deal.

    Sometimes it is wise to find out what ideas’ originators actually think. That is true for documents that have lit up our lives, such as the US Constitution, as well as for those that have darkened them, such as Mein Kampf.


    This is true as well for the nascent Green New Deal, which President Joe Biden has essentially adopted as his own. Even if Congress fails to pass it entirely, Biden will seek to impose many of its goals through administrative diktats on gas-powered cars, land use, airplanes, any form of fossil fuel and nuclear power. Green New Dealers will also extend the welfare state, including to those who choose not to work.





    As Chakrabarti indicated, the Green New Deal is not another environmental ameliorative, but something far more fundamentally transformative. The Biden administration’s embrace of it is somewhat surprising given that the likely economic fallout of this plan – particularly for the working class – made both Biden and House speaker Nancy Pelosi distance themselves from it during the fall campaign. But now the Green New Deal has resurfaced, having made the metamorphosis from a leftist fantasy into a serious political initiative.


    Environmental puritanism and its consequences

    She is pushing a concept that has no cost effective supporting technology that the left will allow to be used.

    Some people want change for the sake of change, because they are not really smart enough to pick the proper direction. That direction is sometimes to stand still.
    Natural gas has already cut down dramatically on emissions. Nuclear should still be an option in the correct locations. Solar and wind should have to justify themselves. Government subsidies take away the need for better development.

    The Far Left began to hijack the Environmental Movement back in the 60's and 70's. Suddenly not only was industrial development and related pollution bad, it was also racist and part of Class Warfare. Growing Soviet and Chinese Communists pollution was otherwise ignored.

    With so many of our real pollution problems solved the current mantra is Climate Change. The developed Capitalist countries are simply not being fair to the Socialist Third World and are wrecking their planet!

    For too many, the color of Green is Red.
