Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezs stunning primary victory over powerful U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley in the working-class New York district stretching from the Bronx to Queens is likely to propel her avowedly left-wing platform into the Democratic mainstream as the 2018 midterm elections heat up.
But her detailed proposals to deal with climate change could prove among the most influential at a time when the Democrats have failed to rally around any policy that could feasibly reduce greenhouse gas emissions dramatically enough to make a difference.
Ocasio-Cortez outlined plans to transition the United States to a 100 percent renewable energy system by 2035. Its a goal hailed by environmentalists as the last best hope of staving off the most catastrophic effects of human-caused planetary warming.
The Green New Deal we are proposing will be similar in scale to the mobilization efforts seen in World War II or the Marshall Plan, she told HuffPost by email last week. We must again invest in the development, manufacturing, deployment, and distribution of energy, but this time green energy.
The 28-year-old has a degree in economics and seems likely to defeat Republican Anthony Pappas in November in the overwhelmingly Democratic district.

Oh look, commie’s lead argument is a lie.
How original.
I feel cooler already
Just tell her she can totally change things by finding the right hashtag ###.
>>Ocasio-Cortez outlined plans to transition the United States to a 100 percent renewable energy system by 2035<<
Why doesn’t she outline the plan for the United States to find and stable 1 million unicorns by 2035? Same thing.
“Ocasio-Cortez outlined plans to transition the United States to a 100 percent renewable energy system by 2035. “
Shove your plans.
I posted on the Primary just yesterday. I really did NOT think she’d unseat a 10x INCUMBENT! Wow!

I’m wondering how much cash Pelosi slipped this gal? Crowley was gunning for Pelosi’s job as Speaker...after the (Imaginary!) ‘Blue Wave’ crashed ashore, of course! *SNORT*
I think her district deserves her...but I will LMAO if the Republican wins in November.
She will be the new leader of EVERYTHING! The new Dim Messiah! The new Anointed One! Good bye Kamala - the Dims have a Marxist Latina!!!
All Bow Down!!
Bur is she a WISE Marxist Latina.
Yep, like other leftists she’s the total monolithic package. It would come as no surprise if she comes out as a “gender fluid” vegan, I’d be shocked if she makes no such claim. NY14 covers Pelham Parkway, where my grandparents lived and one of the few “good” neighborhoods left in NYC.
Fill Central Park with windmills and solar farms and shiver or swelter in darkened homes
We need to encourage Joe Crowley to mount a 3rd-party insurgency against her (heh,heh).
Like nuclear power - with ZERO greenhouse emissions?
No? Why?

November 2017: she was a bartender at Flats Fix, a Mexican restaurant. January 2019: she’ll be walking point on climate change, with a “detailed” (as detailed as a drink order for a table of 8?) plan...
Two Detroit-based Democrat Socialists of America acitivists put together a video for a district that has undergone ethnic and demogrpahic change and poof(!) she’s a Congresswoman.
Oh, and that “federal job guarantee”? That’s why it’s so damn hard to fire anyone in Latin America.
Put all the white people in labor camps and have them peddle bicycles?
We can get to 100% renewable energy by converting Unicorn crap into energy using bio mass technology. Where have you been you ignoramus? /s
Bernie had the same plan. Well it’s not a plan just a statement. They have no way of making this happen but they will tax us back to the stone age trying.
