Ocassional-Cortex released her Green New Deal position paper and it's a doozy.
About the only thing its missing preventing it from becoming a path to a perfect utopia is a demand that the population of the cities be driven into the fields to work on communal farms.
I figure that'll be phase 2.
Reading the overview, from her office quite a few things stand out (Note they have since taken this down, but the Internet is kinda forever):
Ending air travel and replacing it with rail. Shows a complete lack of comprehension about economics, efficiency and the fiscal and engineering impossibility of running high speed rail track to every community in the United States. Its a monorail sales pitch all the way down.
Banning nuclear power - if they were actual environmentalists they'd know that nuclear is pretty darn clean and about the only reasonable and reliable alternative to fossil fuels.
Banning all fossil fuels and going to all "clean renewables" so under this plan prepare for power outages and brownouts in your area soon, comrade.
Even better is the communist approach to the Green New Deal, less environment and more about total state, union and Democrat control of the economy:
Build on FDR’s second bill of rights by guaranteeing:
Economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work
Read that one again.
Funding for it is blithely suggested to be done by the Fed simply printing money and incurring trillions and trillions of debt, not to mention all Green New Deal Jobs are to be union jobs under this scheme.
Hilariously, the position paper even admits that even if all the vilified billionaires and all companies in the US kicked in, it still wouldn't be enough money, only running the printing presses in overdrive might produce enough. Economics and reality really doesn't work that way. Basically this is impossible crony socialism at its worst.
Yep, its a watermelon plan all right. Green on the outside, red on the inside.
Anyone who believes in this nonsense is gullible at best to be charitable.

I have rocks in my yard that are smarter than the people who support this.
Hey Aaron;
All the stupid sheep will buy into this crap thanks to the indoctrination by the colleges and universities. Communism sounds great in theory, but when comes to reality it falls far short. It don't take into account human nature. You can't give money to support shiftless...you encourage more shiftlessness...and the GND is a nightmare, you would need a communist strongman to implement, but also the societal cost is unfathomable.
