The proposal has been ridiculed by Republicans, who equate it to socialism and an unachievable goal.
The progressive climate change initiative being pushed in Congress by freshman Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez known as the Green New Deal was slammed by the president Saturday, lending Donald Trump the opportunity to promise the “future is not socialism.”
"The Green New Deal—I encourage it,” Trump said sarcastically. “I think it's something [Democrats] should really promote... No planes, no energy. When the wind stops blowing, that's the end of your electric. 'Darling is the wind blowing today? I'd like to watch television.'" "That goes beyond what our charge is," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said of the Green New Deal to Rolling Stone in a January interview that was recently published."Our charge is about saving the planet. They have in there things like single-payer and... what is it? Guaranteed income?"
