Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Slams Nancy Pelosi On The Environment

July 11, 2019

The public feud between Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi grew more heated yesterday, with AOC slamming Pelosi over environmental policy. If you haven’t been paying attention, the brawl between Ocasio-Cortez and Pelosi spilled out into the open this week, with AOC attacking Pelosi on Twitter, and Pelosi responding in kind, calling out AOC for living in a “Twitter world.”   AOC does live in a Twitter world, as evidenced by the fact that her extreme eco-policies only make sense if you’re a far-left Twitter warrior. No one living in the real world would support the Green New Deal, or as…


Green New Deal Redo: Bernie And AOC Team Up

July 10, 2019

After Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez botched the rollout of the “Green New Deal,” which has now become a punchline for everything wrong with eco-socialism, it seems she’s vying for a redo. Yesterday, Ocasio-Cortez joined Oregon Democratic Rep Earl Blumenauer and Senator Bernie Sanders to announce they plan to introduce a joint “climate emergency declaration.” Their hope is to encourage Congress to pass the “emergency resolution” to declare a crisis. “There is a climate emergency which demands a massive-scale mobilization to halt, reverse, and address its consequences and causes,” they wrote. “In order for us to enact the scales of solution, we have to acknowledge the…


The Left Continued Its March Toward Eco-Extremism During Last Night’s Debate

June 28, 2019

Last night’s Democratic Presidential debate made clear that the left continues to embrace extreme eco-policies. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s socialist-inspired “Green New Deal” has been endorsed by nearly every 2020 candidate, and California Senator Kamala Harris stressed her support for the proposal during the debate. Talking about California’s wildfires, Harris lambasted the “climate crisis” and said, “That’s why I support a Green New Deal.” Other candidates embraced extreme eco policies as well. South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg advocated for a disastrous carbon tax scheme that would hurt everyday Americans. One candidate, former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, was at least willing to attack the “Green…


Seattle City Council Wants Its Own “Green New Deal”

June 26, 2019

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a “Green New Deal.” So does New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and Sen. Elizabeth Warren do too. It seems every far-left politician under the Sun has their own “Green New Deal” even though estimates show the proposal would come with an astronomical price tag. Now, Seattle is jumping in the political clown car. FoxNews reports that this week, all nine members of the Seattle City Council “signed a letter in support of a ‘Green New Deal for Seattle.’” The measure is being backed by two far-left eco-groups: “Got Green and 350 Seattle.” What…


Inside A Sunrise Movement Activist Boot Camp

June 17, 2019

Can you take over the economy by mimicking freshman-year college orientation? That’s the strategy the eco-extremist organization the “Sunrise Movement” is reportedly relying on to pass the “Green New Deal.” Earlier this year, Power The Future delved into the truth behind the “Sunrise Movement,” and found that they’re hardly the grassroots activists they claim to be. The Sunrise Movement casts themselves as a grassroots group of climate activists. But dig a little deeper, and it is clear that the group is hardly organic. In fact, the Sunrise Movement received initial funding from 350.org, a well-known environmental group. And where is the Sunrise Movement…


Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Finally Puts A Price Tag On Her “Green New Deal”

June 6, 2019

For months, eco-activists have been touting Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “Green New Deal” as something that we desperately need to force into law. But from the outset, they forgot one major aspect of any plan – how much it would cost. Activists from the Sunrise Movement toured the country promoting the plan, 2020 candidates embraced it with open arms, and the Senate even voted it down – all without Ocasio-Cortez giving us the price tag. Now, that’s changed. Yesterday, Ocasio-Cortez finally admitted how much the “Green New Deal” would cost, and it’s a whopping figure. The Hill reports that Ocasio-Cortez believes the plan will…


Elizabeth Warren’s Green New Deal: MORE Bureaucrats

June 5, 2019

Another day, another 2020 presidential candidate with their own “Green New Deal.” This time, it’s Elizabeth Warren, and she’s adding her own ridiculous twist to the litany of eco-left proposals dominating the news – MORE government bureaucrats. That’s right, Elizabeth Warren wants to create an entire army of them to force her “Green New Deal” on an unwilling public. Warren rolled out her eco-plan yesterday, despite news coverage being dominated by Vice President Joe Biden’s formal embrace of the “Green New Deal.” The Washington Post explains that Warren’s $2 trillion “Green New Deal” (more expensive than Biden’s) would be based on a massive…


AOC Wins: Joe Biden Embraces The Green New Deal

June 4, 2019

Last month, we warned that Joe Biden was on the cusp of embracing the eco-agenda of the far-left. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had aimed her fire at Biden, blasting him for considering a “middle ground” environmental plan. Now, Joe Biden has officially caved to Ocasio-Cortez. After being slammed by his rivals for not speaking during a gathering of leftists in San Francisco over the weekend, Joe Biden decided to release his environmental plan this morning, and it’s a dream come true for Ocasio-Cortez and the eco-left. The Washington Post reports that Biden is “embracing the framework of the Green New Deal.” Biden’s plan, while short on details, is…


Labor Anger Over Green New Deal Continues To Boil Over

June 3, 2019

Labor unions – once the backbone of the left – are continuing to demonstrate their anger over Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “Green New Deal.” Unions are concerned about how the “Green New Deal” would destroy plentiful existing union jobs in the energy sector, in favor of imaginary “green” jobs that do not exist. Over the weekend, unions in the left-wing stronghold of California took aim at Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who last month launched his own “Green New Deal LA” plan. Politico reports that labor unions were irate at that proposal, prompting union protesters at a “Blue Collar Revolution” demonstration to…


CEO Warns: Green New Deal Would “Devastate” Steel Industry

May 29, 2019

When you think of coal, the first thing you think about might be electricity or power plants. While coal is a critical component of the United States’ energy supply, supplying around 30 percent of our energy, coal is about much more than just providing energy. It’s a key input in a host of other industrial processes, the most notable of which is steel. And the steel industry has a warning: if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gets her way and passes a “Green New Deal” that shuts down every coal mine in the country, our domestic steel production would collapse. Fox Business reports, “The CEO of…
