How Are Dem Candidates Who Support Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal Faring In the Primaries?
Liberty Unyielding cites CEI’s report on the Green New Deal:
Despite the mockery, Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts are still on board with the idea.
Sanders revealed his own Green New Deal in August 2019, promising everything from “virtually free” electricity and a “hunger-free” transition to green energy from fossil fuels. The democratic socialist’s nearly 14,000-page memo also lays out how he will deal with a variety of social justice issues.
Ocasio-Cortez’s version would cost households an average of between $74,287 and $76,683 in Colorado, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, among others, a February report from the Competitive Enterprise Institute noted. The group worked with Power the Future and the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty on the report.
