AOC - Green New Deal

[Antknot]

What it actually calls for is investment in electric vehicle infrastructure and high speed rail.

Why is everyone so hung up on electric cars? I want hydrogen fueled cars. Much better for the environment.

Partly because the refueling infrastructure for hydrogen is in its infancy. Electric power is most everywhere. But I agree I prefer hydrogen.

Electric cars are ready to roll, hydrogen cars need a whole new infrastructure system built, a technological breakthrough in hydrogen storage that is not currently on the horizon, and the energy input to get hydrogen from water which comes from the electrical grid anyway and is currently less efficient than charging a battery. Hydrogen economy proponents seem unable to grasp this, we have to actually produce the hydrogen from water in the first place to get the carbon neutral fuel that has only water as a by product. It is effectively a less efficient but potentially bigger (with current tech) battery. The alternative of getting it from methane has co2 as a byproduct and still takes energy to do.

Simply on a practical level, battery powered cars are a lot closer to workable. The idea that hydrogen cells are cleaner really relies on the idea that the energy to get the hydrogen would be farted out by a magical unicorn which also waves it's wand and installs a trillion dollars of infrastructure for liquid hydrogen storage and movement.


Gee if only there was some far sighted politician calling for major R&D investment into these things eh?

Something tells me one of the last jets flying will be Pelosi's commuter flights from D.C. TO SFO.

[Antknot]

Has anyone mentioned that one of the proposed methods to pay for all of this was to BORROW THE MONEY from the Fed?

[Wut]

Well since republicans are ok with borrowing money for tax cuts and increased military spending, why not?

Fiscal idiocy doesn't have a party favorite.

Then that wall doesn't need to be built. And if the money has to be spent for "better" border protection, it should be given to ICE and the Border Patrol for better equipment and training and facilities.

But if we borrow for social welfare programs, its all good. Amirrite?

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few

McConnell is gonna force a vote. Dims will have to go on record whether they support this thing or not. So many lolz.

“We won’t have any virtue signaling votes” - McConnell, weeks ago to vote on funding the government

[CaptQuint]

Be funny if this blew up in his face by ALL of the dems voting FOR it. Basically the dems need to collectively call his bluff on it. McConnell has had a history of fillabustering his own bills


Nothing like that turtle owning his god damn self AGAIN

Maybe y'all should ask Japan how they managed to build one in 1964.

This is really getting under your skin, eh capt?
You're right that all the dims could call his bluff but that will never happen. There's just too many dims in moderate states that don't want their name anywhere near that thing.
