Liz Cheney Stumps Green New Dealers With One Question: Did You Fly Here?

DC:

Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney grilled environmental experts on their travel methods at a House hearing on climate change while discussing the Green New Deal’s call to phase out air travel.

“My constituents are obviously very concerned about this notion that we are somehow going to transition over the course of 10 years here to an economy that is entirely run on green energy,” Cheney said during a Natural Resources subcommittee hearing. “Certainly, they have concerns about the fossil fuel aspect of that.”

 

“I have to say, one of the issues that people are particularly concerned about is the extent to which we are no longer going to have air travel, apparently,” Cheney continued, referencing the Frequently Asked Question section of Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s proposed Green New Deal.

The Green New Deal calls to “totally overhaul transportation by massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing, build charging stations everywhere, build out high-speed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary,” according to Ocasio-Cortez’s website.

Cheney asked the expert panel, comprised of four Democrat and two Republican witnesses, to state how they each arrived in Washington D.C., for the hearing. Four of the six witnesses stated that they traveled by airplane, the very means of transportation they hope to diminish.  more

  1. “But they all paid for lots of carbon credits from Al Gore’s Friendly Green Carbon Bank with money taken from taxpayers.”

    …a bit more accurate, @Nowut Ameen, because Democrats only use OTHER people’s money…

  2. Oh, there will still be air travel. And cars, and internal combustion engines
    But only for those that have an acceptable Social Justice Score.
    Decided by we, the Anointed Ones of the Green Church of Gaia
    White Conservative Racist Homophobe CIS gendered misogynists can walk.
    But no enslaving of animals! No draft animals for you!
    You walk, and sew this yellow cross on your clothes where we can see it.

  3. Liberals are free to follow the green new deal now if they want, so why don’t they? Because it’s not about being “green”, it’s about forcing their will upon others. Just like they’re free to practice socialism but they don’t. So one must assume it’s ALL about power and forcing their will upon others. I’d like to see Tucker and others use this debate tactic to expose these frauds for what they are – – TOTALITARIAN ASSHOLES.

  4. The “Greens” of Europe were the flotsam and jetsam of the collapse of the Berlin Wall.
    Socialism took a hit; so they re-defined themselves as “Enviro-Nazis” and took up that mantle.
    They still continue to fool the foolish: those who would rather babble bullshit than think in depth.
    “Fossil” fuels is a misnomer – a deliberate lie – to mislead the ignorant and to force a false narrative on the whole “energy” debate – which isn’t about “energy” but about power.

    Same stale, tired, old, worn-out lies – “it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.”

  5. Hey Democrats, you wanna’ do something so green it’ll go down in history? Gut your dipshit, do nothing, go nowhere plan. Replace it with a federal program for fusion electrical generation. Include in this Russia, China, France, Germany in not a treaty, but a contract. Make this the size for all of the participants equivalent to the Manhattan Project that gave us nuclear weapons in today’s dollars. We’d have fusion generation in less than ten years at less than a penny a kilowatt hour.

    But they won’t. Nobody will. Fuckin’ idiots.
