It also like averts the apocalypse. how much do y'all think that costs lol
By averting climate catastrophe we will save $70.4 trillion over 80 years.
A #GreenNewDeal is the only economic and the moral choice.

I actually have some very affordable apocalypse insurance I bought from Geico. No further action is required
-
Did you save 15% or more by switching to Geico?

Idk where you got these numbers from Bernie, but one number that’s certain is that the US government is $22,531,018,259,740 and counting in debt and the
#greennewdeal would increase that number beyond measure. There’s also $210,000,000,000,000 in unfunded liabilities!pic.twitter.com/RKPHLArKSz

Corporations that have brought the world to the current state are the ones who need to pay up.

The largest polluter in the world could arguably be the US Military. Do you want to force tax-payers into paying a fine due to government corruption and ineptness? The government also is the one subsidizing oil and conducting military imperialism to prop up oil purchasing in USD
-
no, it's more like a tort or criminal forfeiture. from a libertarian perspective, fossil fuel companies are harming our private property (through climate-related damage) through fraud. they should have to pay damages to reverse the harm done and make property owners whole.

There is one thing I never see mentioned in any discussion about the GND cost is the saving by not using any fuel. I mean contrary to fossil fuel, wind and solar are completely free. So after the initial cost, the running cost (1.2 trillion) would be greatly reduced.pic.twitter.com/WHEU2T6oMT

$2 Million per megawatt is no cheap price to pay. As the government artificially stimulates demand for more wind power via collective tax dollars rather the transaction occurring in the private market place, the price of wind turbines & its input materials rise significantly.
-
You mean like this, new wind and solar already cost less than coal where they already amortize the cost of the factory. What solar has told us is that when Chinese government decided to push solar, price plummeted. Mass production always resulted in lower cost and also better r&d
-
In the long run prices go down, but they must first go up, which incentivizes producers to enter into the market. Your assessment is close, but no cigar.

Seriously. How much is it going to cost when the subways flood in Manhattan? How much is the Florida coastline worth? How much does it cost to clean up after a couple Category 4 hurricanes every year? How much does a 100 year drought cost? How costly is a 1000 acre forest fire?

And a billion lives.

Bernie, this shouldn't be about saving money. This is about saving everything, especially our humanity.
