      1. I plan to propose an alternative shortly. 2. Basic income, job guarantee, universal health care, and all the other economic guarantees that are the biggest cost items in the Green New Deal are not necessary to save the planet, and climatologists know this.https://twitter.com/OsitaNwanevu/status/1093971772440043520 …

      No one criticizing the Green New Deal -- not a single person -- has an alternative plan for transitioning the American energy economy in the timeframe climatologists say we must. Nobody. If you don't think it's realistic, put out something else. What should be done instead?

      On point 2. -- the action to achieve transition to clean energy is going to be disruptive & to get buy-in from population in a democracy you're going to need some form of social democracy to cushion against shocks. So they are, in fact, necessary.

      No, Jeet. They're not physically or technologically or economically necessary. Your guess is that they are politically necessary, but there's a good chance you're wrong.

      I don't think economically necessary and politically necessary can be so easily separated when talking about solving a problem that requires political action.

      But the "politically necessary" part is just your bald assertion. It's saying "We must have a package deal because we demand a package deal". Maybe that'll work, but the package deal is bad enough right now where I oppose it so far. If it improves, I'll change.

      But of course I am nobody and nothing and unimportant. So mostly I'll sit back and hope we don't do crazy things to our economy. But I will soon propose the outlines of an alternative plan.

      I look forward to your alternative plan. At this stage, it's good to just get people coming up with proposals and figure out which one can pass/work.

          Those folks in France rioting because of tax hikes on petrol to help cut carbon output in France are eagerly awaiting your plan.
