The Green New Deal isn’t new

[@cccircuit8296]

What do we want?: A plan to dramatically reduce carbon emissions to keep atmospheric concentrations under 335 PPM to prevent run away climate change. When do we want it?: 1975

Taking climate change seriously != supporting The Green New Deal. I think it would be great if only money was not a problem.. not a single effective way of funding these plans has been suggested yet (I may be wrong in this, please correct me). I would also prefer it if the social help was targeted at the most deprived instead focusing on race/gender. EDIT: for more effective spending, my opinion is to invest into Fusion technology and electric transport.

[@ennuiii]

Here's an idea: stop spending trillions of dollars on regime change and genocide :)

[@Nisfornarwhal1990]

Fusion tech? My man!

[@brian2440]

How is it a serious idea when: 1. It’s timeframe is not consistent with any published scientific study on energy transitions and existing feasibility analysis on scientific energy transitions can prove that its projected production rates are not feasible? 2. It doesn’t provide any calculated information of any kind. How do you possibly claim that millions of jobs will be created, when you don’t even know how many units need to be manufactured? 3. It discusses massive increases in renewable technology, yet includes zero language about transmission infrastructure. How do you possibly imagine connecting utility scale wind farms to major cities without transmission line? This question isn’t just about distance. Utility scale generates such a high amount of energy that we require very high voltage line (50,000 to 800,0000 volts) to transfer this energy. Distribution line isn’t rated this high, and trying to use it will literally burn line. 4. The GND requires massive construction, yet also describes increasing environmental and labor regulations. Of course we need the EPA and OSHA, but increasing regulation will force construction to cost more and take longer, which the complete opposite objective of the plan for the GND. The entire section about reducing eminent domain, access to public lands, waterways, oceans and increased regulations make zero sense from a constructibility perspective. 5. The GND calls for massive scale up of high speed rail, even though high speed rail is typically designed for use in monocentric cities and the majority of US cities are polycentric. From an urban planning perspective this aspect of the plan doesn’t make sense. 6. The overall plan lacks a great deal of specifics about just about everything. And most disturbing is the fact that the resolution does not draw any evidence or plans from published scientific studies that have already calculated extremely complex plans. It seems as though this resolution was made before talking or researching with any engineers, scientists, contractors, unions or major institutions. That’s a very significant problem.

[@MatthewStinar]

Inaction costs money, too. Poverty and pollution are costing us increasingly devastating sums while we argue over the cost of taking action. There's much we can do for less than the long term cost of doing nothing.

If a CARBON TAX is introduced, won't that drive up the cost of goods in stores? Either way, We damned if we do & damned if we don't.

[@phatmilkers2074]

I guess it depends on the carbon emissions a company creates for the production of a good. The higher the emissions, the higher the price of that product will be, so people will tend to buy less expensive ones therefore companies won't make a good profit so they'll need to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions. But still, almost every price would be higher. In my opinion, there should be a carbon tax in all those countries that produce the most co2, it will benefit everyone(not the oil companies of course).

[@euphyllia6590]

We had a carbon tax in Australia before our Conservative party got rid of it and it did little to inflate goods prices very much

The videos with this host are so boring. The information is there, but I honestly have a hard time getting to the end of the video. She's extremely monotone and imo comes across like she's extremely bored. I guess "robotic" would be a good word to describe it. Everything from the set, props, background, everything really just feels super up-tight. I much prefer the feel of the other segment with Lou. With that said I understand not wanting to have 2 of the same segments. I guess if I could change anything, the delivery of the information would be number 1 and that TV wall background would be number 2 (I find it really distracting). I hope you guys keep up the overall great work.

Ok we install solar to every home and poof problems solved right? Well no actually, because you can actually calculate about how much energy such a plan would create, and it’s not enough in fact it’s only about 36%. A great step (depending on how much time it would actually take), but it’s not a full solution.

[@iheartlreoy8134]

Big government is not the only answer. The problems we’re experiencing are only because government has been involved in the first place.

[@officialDragonMap]

No, government is *not* the _only_ problem. I don't disagree with the idea that government doesn't solve every problem and even sometimes supports them. They get created by society though. And in a country where Trump gets elected, most of flat earthers live, and with so called christians (not what I, as a christian, understand that term though), one is better off with not letting them decide on their own.

[@iheartlreoy8134]

Admin Dragon-Map Yes government is the only problem here, the free market will shift to green energy because the free market the producers and consumers are made up of people and they will do what people want which is to use more renewable forms of energy and production the government is a leech and can only spend others money.

[@DiThi]

Why are we not hitting the streets complaining against every attempt of corporate lobbying? Are we all believing collectively it wouldn't change things?

[@sophieszobonya3175]

Well. Pretty much. Yes. In my country this is the big reason why the current political has been in power for 8 years - there is no coherent opposition and the general public thinks that their thought doesn't count and why bother voting when it would change nothing. This is partially why Brexit was voted - a lot of people who would've voted to stay didn't go to vote because why bother. As far as I can see there is a general feeling of learned helplessness and hopelessness.

[@MishaFlower]

You think protesting and rioting would some how stop politicans from accept bribes?

[@DiThi]

@@MishaFlower Yes, even if it's not obvious at first. It's more about the awakening of people demanding actual democracy. Even if it doesn't stop any bribe the change in attitude of the people would already be a very big step forward. It's the only way things can change for real. It's how we got the 40 hours a week, social security, unions, etc. Thanks to the socialists and communists before the Red Scare and McCarthyism. And since then things have not changed. Except unions are smaller and less powerful. It's not a coincidence.

The issue with AOC's green new deal is throughout the 15 page plan, she identifies issues and then calls for them to be remedied by "clean, renewable, and zero emission energy sources". However, there are currently no clean, renewable, and zero emission energy sources that can be used for large scale integration in the US (at least none that I'm aware of). Also she wants to pull the money for this from the public sector which is concerning.

Either way we will end up paying the price. Carbon tax the companies that pollute and we pay the upcharge for their services. So you might as well keep shifting the tax bracket so we pay more taxes without actually changing the percentage. Like this administration did last year.

An easy, healthy, cost-effective way to combat climate change is by going vegan to stop supporting one of the most carbon emitting industries.
