THREAD - Let’s destroy this radical claim.
There isn’t a single shred of evidence for this radical position, in fact the opposite is true. The costs of a Green New Deal will far outweigh the benefits, both to our environment and our economy. Here is why. https://twitter.com/berniesanders/status/1315410114946519041

For our environment, energy demand will only increase in the coming years, and that demand will either be met by American energy or by countries like Russia or Iran.
Russian natural gas shipped abroad has 47% more emissions than American LNG.

America has some of the highest energy production standards in the world. Russia? Not so much.
Just last year, Russian oil companies shipped massive supplies of toxic, intentionally tainted Russian oil abroad.
Is this who we want powering the world?

And for the economy, the Green New Deal would be a job killer, not creator. Especially in Texas.
In Houston alone, there are 125,000 employees working in oil and gas production, according to the Texas Oil & Gas Association.

When asked if oil and gas jobs should be sacrificed for unrealistic policies like the Green New Deal, Joe Biden said simply “yes.”
And remember: Bernie Sanders is a top advisor to Biden on energy policy. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/12/19/biden_yes_we_must_be_willing_to_sacrifice_oil_and_gas_jobs_to_transition_to_a_green_economy.html

And what would be the cost to American taxpayers? Trillions.
According to estimates, the low end of the range is $52 trillion (over the next 10 years) and the high end is $93 trillion. https://www.americanactionforum.org/daily-dish/analyzing-the-green-new-deal/#ixzz6agPjAtPW

Bottom line: the GND would force us to rely on foreign polluters to power the global economy. It would kill countless jobs.
Bernie wants you to believe that the only way to protect the environment is to destroy the economy. Don’t believe this false choice.
