.AOC admits 'massive' scale of Green New Deal, says climate change will be even worse
Ocasio-Cortez had released her previous version of the Green New Deal in 2019 to widespread criticism. She brushed passed those criticisms in a statement announcing her second version of the bill.
"When we first introduced the Green New Deal, we were told that our vision for the future was too aspirational," Ocasio-Cortez said."Four years later, we see core tenets of the Green New Deal reflected in the Inflation Reduction Act – the largest ever federal investment in fighting climate change, with a focus on creating good, green jobs."
"But there is still much, much more to do to make environmental justice the center of U.S. climate policy," she continued."Today’s reintroduction marks the beginning of that process – of strengthening and broadening our coalition, and of laying the policy groundwork for the next fight."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP
While the Green New Deal is just 14 pages and includes little detail about how it would achieve its lofty greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals, the legislation would effectively end fossil fuel extraction and include massive investments in green energy alternatives.Anders Hagstrom is a reporter with Fox News Digital covering national politics and major breaking news events.
