On the recordFebruary 25, 2019
My Democratic colleagues have made public the details of the so-called Green New Deal. Among other things, if implemented over the next 10 years, it would eliminate the use of fossil fuels and nuclear power. That means our gasoline-powered vehicles and implements would be useless, and there would be no air travel. It would also require that virtually all building structures would be rebuilt or need to be remodeled. Every facet of life would be forced to change. The most frightening thing about this is that my colleagues sponsoring it are actually serious. Furthermore, the architects failed to explain how they are going to rebuild the economy they would decimate. Mr. Speaker, I would suggest the architects of this legislation change the color of the Green New Deal and call it the Red--as in stop sign red--New Disaster. ____________________
