"Green New Deal" sounded great until you look under the hood and realize that it would require the exact opposite of everything the average person supporting it claims to care about. Widespread environmental devastation would be the result just to increase the mining of copper alone to sufficient volume to support the agenda for wind turbine manufacturing. We would recreate the ecological dead zones of the last century but on a scale never seen before.

Push it forward and someone's going to get fabulously wealthy. A new age of unbridled extraction that would dwarf the boom of the Industrial Revolution. And the rest of us would be left to deal with the fallout. Again.
