Decreasing reliance on fossil...SM - Old Anon

Posted: Jan 9th, 2019 - 6:27 am In Reply to: lexandria Ocasio-Cortez, activist groups map out next steps in Green - New Deal fight

fuels is not a bad thing in the long run. Sure their plan sounds a bit unrealistic, but even if we decrease dependence by 25% to 50%, that's a good thing. How is this a big bad grab for power? The people working in the fossil fuel industry can be retrained to work in the wind and solar industry, which should have started (and has in a limited way) 5-10 years back. Of course millenials will be more receptive to this than the boomers because they tend to embrace change a bit better. Why is any change some sort of conspiracy to some people? Fear maybe?
