This article, "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Ambitious Plan to Save the Planet," on the new darling of the Left, had this rather typical ambition for many of Malthus/Tarbell/Ehrlich/Hansen/Gore/Mann crowd:
... she has proposed implementing what she calls a “Green New Deal,” a Franklin Delano Roosevelt–like plan to spur “the investment of trillions of dollars and the creation of millions of high-wage jobs,” according to her official website. “The Green New Deal we are proposing will be similar in scale to the mobilization efforts seen in World War II or the Marshall Plan,” she told HuffPost last week. “We must again invest in the development, manufacturing, deployment, and distribution of energy, but this time green energy.”
Riddle me this: How is it Trump, for instance, is a buffoon for wanting to use the power of government to tip the market in coal's favor but Cortez is sage beyond her years for wanting to use the power of government to tip the market in wind and solar's favor? From my perspective they are both economic know-nothings.
