None.
Nothing but nuclear could even begin to replace some of the the 4 trillion kwh of energy used by the United states.
Those idiot democrats pushing the new green deal can't even comprehend the scale of the issue. They are so stupid they think a few years of building solar panels and wind turbines will replace fossil fuel power.
The CBO says the green new deal will cost 93 trillion dollars.
