It’s been over half a year since Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez released her Green New Deal resolution (along with cosponsor Senator Ed Markey (D)), for which she has never demanded a vote. Her big idea to get it passed as actual legislation?

AOC: We are breaking up the Green New Deal

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Tuesday her massive Green New Deal proposal will move forward — in pieces.

“One of the things I think is really exciting,” said the first-term New York Democrat, is that “the legislation that we are planning on introducing is not one broad sweeping piece of legislation.”

Ocasio-Cortez said, “We are breaking it up into parts.”

The liberal Democrat said lawmakers are at work on different pieces of legislation derived from the Green New Deal, which calls for eliminating carbon emissions in the United States in 10 years.

One of the first measures will promote the transition to electric vehicles, she said.

Ocasio-Cortez said she plans to introduce a bill this month aimed at transitioning the U.S. to carbon-neutral buildings, which she called a “Green New Deal housing plan.”

She’s really excited about this

“We are really excited about it,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “That’s going to be dropping this month, and it’s going to be really a focus on buildings, which is one of the three major industries we have to focus on when it comes to reducing carbon emissions.”

The proof will be how it’s written, but, you can bet it will involve the Central Planning Office, er, federal government, imposing massive controls on your domicile and workplace, increasing costs tremendously, making housing even more expensive, making the cost of doing business very expensive. All while doing nothing to “solve” anthropogenic climate change.
