Green New Deal is feasible and affordable (opinion) – CNN

CNN) — There are three main ideas of the Green New Deal Resolutionintroduced by Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Ed Markey.
The first is to decarbonize the US energy system — that is, to end the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from burning coal, oil and natural gas, in order to stop global warming.
The second is to guarantee lower-cost, high-quality health coverage for all.
The third is to ensure decent jobs and living standards for all Americans, in part by making colleges and vocational schools affordable for all.
The right wing and corporate lobbies are already hyperventilating: It is unachievable; it will bankrupt us; it will make us into Venezuela.
These claims are dead wrong. The Green New Deal agenda is both feasible and affordable. This will become clear as the agenda is turned into specific legislation for energy, health care, higher education, and more.

The Green New Deal combines ideas across several parts of the economy because the ultimate goal is sustainable development.
That means an economy that delivers a package deal: good incomes, social fairness, and environmental sustainability.
Around the world, governments are aiming for the same end — a “triple-bottom line” of economic, social, and environmental objectives.

I’m sorry, Just saying it is feasible is not nearly enough. No evidence is provided at all as proof of feasibility.
