What does the future look like if we do not get our act together? Look at Australia burning before our eyes. Look at the unprecedented wildfires in California. Look at the increasing number of climate refugees around the world. A Green New Deal is our moral responsibility.

- Nuclear & nat gas provided 56% of all US electricity in 2019 - Nuclear & nat gas reduced CO2 six times more than solar/wind. - Nuclear provides electricity ~92% of year - solar & wind do so 10-30% of year - solar & wind often require 100% nat gas back-up

You oppose nuclear for bad ideological reasons In 1980, news reported you as saying, "it might be possible that a socialist society, with health and safety as its primary concerns, would run [nuclear] plants for public good" 6 years later: Chernobyl snopes.com/uploads/2020/0

New York nuclear plant's future further divides Sanders and Clinton

Your dogmatism against nuclear and natural gas is a sharp contrast to both

@BarackObama

@HillaryClinton

who both favored the technologies Indeed, Clinton defended nuclear plants from your maniacal anti-capitalist-nuclear crusade in 2016

Sanders says Indian Point facility is ‘a catastrophe waiting to happen’, but former New York senator says he’s late to the issue and site simply needs more oversight

Your anti-nuclear and anti-nat gas agenda means nobody can take you seriously when you say that climate change is an "existential threat" If you believed that, you wouldn't be worried about some used fuel rods, or insist on socialist revolution to continue running nuclear plants

Democrats should be warned The numbers don't lie. The pro-nuclear & pro-natural gas agenda by @GOPLeader is objectively more effective at reducing emissions than the Green New Deal proposed by

Top Republican Rejects Climate Denialism, Urges Expansion Of Nuclear Power And Natural Gas

Republican leaders are urging an expansion of nuclear energy and natural gas to address climate change

If Democrats make

their nominee, they will trash whatever political advantage they now enjoy among Millennials concerned about climate change.

If Democrats make

their nominee, journalists, even those in the tank for Democrats, will be forced to report that nuclear and natural gas massively outweigh solar and wind when it comes to reducing CO2 emissions. The numbers are simply too stark for hand-waving.

If Democrats make

their nominee, he will be in a bind. If he attempts to moderate his position for the general election, Trump will accuse Sanders of pandering, which would undermine Sanders’ reputation as a straight-shooter.

If Sanders sticks to his guns, he will have to explain how someone who views climate as an “existential threat” favors shutting down 55 percent of US low-carbon electricity If Dems want to destroy whatever credibility they have on climate, they should vote

Bernie’s green policies are an assault on the working class

“Sanders’ agenda reflects the ‘progressive’ wing of America’s upper-middle class & its perspective from the faculty lounge, not the shop floor. He is willing to override working class interests & even destroy their jobs to pursue his brand of ‘socialism’”

His proposed bans on fossil fuels and fracking will cost millions of jobs and send energy prices soaring.
