Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund To Divest From Oil & Gas Exploration Stocks

Why The Green New Deal Cuts Consumer Energy Costs & Unemployment

Critics🐉🦕🦖😈 claim, though, that the Green New Deal is unaffordable and uneconomical and will sink the US into more debt. Having led the research team that developed science-based plans to transition each of the 50 states to 100% wind, water, and solar (WWS) in all energy sectors (electricity, transportation, heating and cooling, and industry), we conclude the opposite is true: the benefits of clean energy systems greatly exceed the costs. 10 other independent research groups similarly find that 100% renewable energy systems are low cost without fossil fuels with carbon capture or nuclear power.

Thus, the critics 🐉🦕🦖😈 of the GND thus have it backwards: not transitioning to a clean energy system is unaffordable and uneconomical.
