I wonder if he plans to pay to convert my natural gas heating to something else inexpensive and reliable for me?
Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez Push Bill to ‘Ban Fracking Nationwide’ by 2025
An anti-fracking bill crafted by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) aims to end the practice altogether, making it illegal “on all onshore and offshore land in the United States†by Jan. 1, 2025.
Left-wing actor Mark Ruffalo teased the bill last week, allowing Sanders to jokingly knock him for “ruining the surprise†of the new fracking legislation.
“I don’t mind if @MarkRuffalo spoils his own movies. But please, don’t ruin the surprise of our new legislation with Rep. @AOC, @SenJeffMerkley and @RepDarrenSoto,†Sanders wrote with an accompanying clip of the Avengers actor evidently “spoiling†the upcoming legislation:
The bill, according to the Hill, aims to end fracking altogether, revoking permits for “wells where fracking takes place and that are within 2,500 feet of a home, school or other ‘inhabited structure’†beginning February 1, 2021. It would also “immediately prevent federal agencies from issuing federal permits for expanded fracking, new fracking, new pipelines, new natural gas or oil export terminals and other gas and oil infrastructure.â€
It would make the practice, which Ocasio-Cortez has identified as the “leading contributor to our climate emergency,†illegal by January 1, 2025.
“Fracking is a danger to our water supply. It’s a danger to the air we breathe, it has resulted in more earthquakes, and it’s highly explosive,†Sanders said in a statement, according to the Hill. To top it all off, it’s contributing to climate change.â€
Uh huh. Also, here’s Comrade Bernie

Here’s also Comrade Bernie
(Hot Air) The Sanders campaign spent nearly $1.2 million on private jets last quarter as the candidate traveled between the Senate impeachment and campaign stops. The Washington Free Beacon reports Joe Biden wasn’t far behind:
The most recent filing from Sanders reveals $1,199,579 in spending during the final three months of 2019 to Apollo Jets, LLC, a “luxury private jet charter service.†The campaign spent an additional $23,941 for transportation to Virginia-based Advanced Aviation Team.
‘Climate change’ policy is always applied to Someone Else.
BTW, Elizabeth Warren also called for a total ban on new oil leases and a complete ban of all fracking. Then she jumps in a fossil fueled private jet.
IT is extremely obvious what the Democrats are doing. They know their party is now full of communists who love Putin and suck his tiny pekker every night that they have to insulate America against the shock of having a full-blown communist, run against Trump in 2020.
Not to mention AOC is funding PRIMARY CHALLENGERS AGAINST HER OWN PARTY, trying to pack the democrats with unqualified, inept AOC, TALIB, OMAR CLONES. Adam Schiff is accusing Trump of wanting to give Alaska to Putin. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
The DNC can’t even run the Iowa caucuses without a fiasco of cheating at every level.
The democrats want to literally destroy the economy of the USA by giving away free everything. Destroying our energy supplies and telling fly over and deplorables to go fuk themselves.
Nothing new here. The only hope is that the DNC can…..steal the election from Bernie Again. But if they do that then Bernie Bros will be rioting in the streets all across America. And if they nominate Bernie then all the Never Bernie bros will vote for Trump or stay home.
That is why they let bloomberg on the stage. They are hoping the billionaire midget can defeat Trump. The party that HATES BILLIONAIRES IS HOPING A BILLIONAIRE WINS THE NOMINATION.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL…….Gawd this is pathetic but fun to watch.!!!!!!
I have heard that fracking has been so successful that most fracking companies have already put themselves out of business. The wells that would benefit the most from this have already done it. Thanks AOC and Bernie from saving us from something that is already done. Typical communists. Just waiting for them to release their next “5-year plan” where they increase the ration of chocolate from 250 grams to 180 grams.
Our esteemed host asked:
I’m tempted to just say no, of course not, because you’re white, but I won’t. Rather, I would anticipate some sort of federal program which would have a sliding scale to pay for the new heating system based upon your income. If you are a reasonably successful, then too bad, so sad.
Of course, since you’d also have to buy a new electric car, the Democrats are going to be digging deep into your pockets.
But there’s more. Once the warmunists have forced you to convert to electric heat, well, that’s going to be a strain on resources, so they’ll also have to take control of your thermostat. I hope you won’t mind your house being heated to just 20º C — they’ll force us onto the metric system, too — because that’s all you will be allowed. Your thermostat will be controlled by the Department of Climate Management; you will not have the option of setting it yourself.
If “smart” thermostats are not installed, rolling blackouts cover the neighborhood and makes sure everyone feels the pain equally. (except people with connections, of course)
[…] Of course, this was right before Comrade Bernie took off in a fossil fueled private jet […]
