re: Details of AOC’s Green New Deal

I appreciate the boldness of this plan, but it isn't feasible nor does it focus enough on the base level research to yield better catalysts for industrial processes, provide a realistic path to zero carbon emission power sources (we need to spend a pretty penny on nuclear), funding for GMOs that require less water and fertilizer (energy intensive to make) to grow, and money toward carbon capture to CO2 to liquid fuel processes that could actually make a dent. Maybe it starts a debate on what could actually work, but I'm not exactly impressed by the proposal on first glance.

See, what you're proposing is a measured and realistic plan. There's just one problem with it:

Insufficient opportunity to expand government power.

AOCs plan takes care of that problem nicely, which of course is the entire point.
