As I noted, a chunk of Comrade Bernie’s climate plan is dedicated to getting rid of fossil fuels, and doing it quickly. It would force you to give up your fossil fueled vehicle and essentially stop aviation. You could take a train or a bus, as long as they don’t use fossil fuels. But, that is only for The Little People
Sanders touts $16 trillion climate plan in fire-ravaged town
PARADISE, Calif. (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders released a $16.3 trillion climate plan on Thursday before touring a Northern California town ravaged by wildfire, declaring the setting a “wake-up call for our entire nation” to the dangers of a warming planet.
“Climate change is a major, major crisis for our country, and the entire world, and one of the manifestations of that crisis is what happened here,” the Vermont senator said as he walked through a burned-out mobile home park in Paradise alongside people who lost their homes in last November’s deadly blaze.
Sanders’ climate plan calls for the United States to move to renewable energy across the economy by 2050 and declare climate change a national emergency.
So, how did Comrade Bernie travel to California, and then Paradise?
In California, scientists and policymakers have named climate change as a major contributor to the state’s worsening wildfires, which have killed more than 100 people and destroyed tens of thousands of homes in recent years. Investigators determined faulty utility equipment owned by Pacific Gas & Electric sparked the fire that ravaged Paradise. Sanders said his plan would provide billions to help states and local governments better respond to disaster and strengthen firefighting resources.
That’s right, the fire wasn’t caused by climate change, natural or man-caused. It was due to faulty equipment. Nor was it made worse by ‘climate change’. Comrade Bernie forgot to mention that part.
An audience member at the town hall asked Sanders how he would practice what he preaches when it comes to fossil fuel consumption. Sanders pointed to solar panels he’s installed on his Vermont home but admitted that refusing to fly on planes powered by fossil fuels wasn’t realistic for his presidential campaign.
“I’m not going to walk to California,” he said. “We do the best we can … but I’m not going to sit here and tell you that we’re not going to use fossil fuels.”
Um, that’s exactly what his plan says. Did he read it? But, of course, he’s one of the bourgeoisie, the elites, who do not have to worry about their own laws applying to themselves.
“It is expensive,” Sanders said at a climate-focused town hall near Paradise. “But the cost of doing nothing is far more expensive.”
"His plan to spend $16 trillion will save you a lot of money" will never not be funny. https://t.co/CxaQeWQ6P4

“Investigators determined faulty utility equipment owned by Pacific Gas & Electric sparked the fire that ravaged Paradise.”
That’s only because they can’t get rich suing “climate” yet like they can a utility company.
