Ocasio-Cortez: 'There's no debate' that fossil fuel production should stop
Fox News ^ | 10/12/18 | Lauren Lee

Democratic House candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rallied an audience of supporters in Washington Thursday evening with calls to implement single-payer health care and tuition-free college – along with an appeal to stop fossil fuel production entirely.

Ocasio-Cortez, who is running to represent New York’s 14th Congressional District, has made no secret of her opposition to fossil fuels. She’s called for politicians to forsake donations from the industry and is pushing a “Green New Deal” plan which entails a shift to 100 percent renewable energy by 2035.

But she cast her position in stark terms Thursday, during a fundraiser at a restaurant along D.C.’s hip 14th Street.

“There’s no debate as to whether we should continue producing fossil fuels. There’s no debate. We should not,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “Every single scientific consensus points to that.”

Let’s try a pilot program. Cut off petroleum sales to New York state first.

Is she so full of B.S. that she can take over gas production by self flatulating then? Won’t that be grand.

Let this dim bulb show the way. Live 30 days without anything connected to petroleum. She can look to “Little House on the Prairie” for some pointers.

This woman is clearly crazier than a barrel of March Hares!

How is Anthony Pappas, her Republican opponent, doing?

Any chance for a seat flip?

There’s no doubt: Ocasio-Cortez should do the ‘honorable thing’ immediately!

Come on man; you know for a fact that no democratic-socialist or regular democrat has any concept of the term HONOR.

Ocasio-Cortez is a useful idiot.
“Every single scientific consensus points to that.”

“12 years to save the planet...”. Haha haha

In the 1970s, when Carter was president, it was “The world is running out of oil, fossil fuel and in 30 years there would be no oil left in the middle east. The Arabs would be without the source of their great wealth and we would be without fuel to power and warm our homes or travel.”

It hasn’t happened yet. Though I think the threat of losing their great wealth is what has encouraged jihad, so that they can rule the world even without their oil money.
