The green deal is another attempt to pass cap and tax that failed to pass in 2008 when the Democrats had the super majority.
I don't know why they even bother, have they seen the numbers in the senate or the guy in the white house. Or maybe these new congress members are idiots and don't understand how the government works.
Otherwise it's a typical stupid liberal agenda, force the end of the internal combustion engine and give no viable solution to replace it.
If you look at how it works all they do is punish and penalize the consumer, that's it, thats their great plan and it's crap. It does almost nothing to reduce CO2 production.
End the internal combustion engine? Sure, sounds good great right, well it doesn't actually solve any problems.
If we woke up tomorrow and every passenger vehicle magically turned into an electric vehicle over night that would only reduce CO2 production by about 10% because most of our electric power comes from coal and natural gas.
The new green deal is a fake, feel good, non-solution.
