manner is the cleanest,r easiest only available way to too it. do they explain why they are against that? dana: no, it s a 14 page document that is light on the details, right? so that s something that they can say like all of these democrats who have signed on today as you said like all the presidential candidates, like, we re so excited about it s an idea, it s a goal. it s not really real. but, here s n another thing. the other co-sponsor for alexandria ocasio-cortez was ed markey the senator from massachusetts. tucker: right. dana: back in 2009 when the obama era when they passed this cap and trade deal, that s actually what helped lead to them losing seats in that first midterm for president obama. that and obamacare. those two things. what s in this green new deal? i more of the same plus you will get free healthcare, you re also going to be able to get free college tuition and you will be able to provide a living for anyone that is unable or unwilling
they want more wind, more solar but this document it totally ignores energy reliability. that is about national security. this document is light on the details. i don t think we will be going too far, but it could be a real problem for those who signed on to it today. i hope it is. thank you very much. so what would happen to the united states if we got rid of fossil fuels, so he has thought about this and he joins us tonight. so we and act the aoc plan, what happens? well, the aoc plan strikingly pledges to get rid of most forms of transportation and, indeed, cows. so, you can give up your chevy suburban. tucker: come on. take a cow to work. the cow actually is more devastating to the environment than the chevy suburban. c alexandria ocasio-cortez s document actually says that
tucker: alexandria ocasio-cortez of new york has posed what she is calling a green new deal. the deal would shut down america s entire traditional energy sector within 12 years. gasoline cars would be history. close to 10 million americans would lose their jobs.. virtually every building in the country would need to be retrofitted to become something called carbon neutral. those are just the big popoints. there s a lot more and a lot more. amazingly quite a few democrats seem to be taking this proposal seriously or at least to say otherwise for fear of offending the 29-year-old leader of their party. one person who clearly thinks it s ridiculous though is speaker nancy pelosi. pelosi still believes that she is the leader of the democraticll party. she described alexandria ocasio-cortez plan as the green dream or whatever they call it nobody know what is it is but they are for it, right?
