Warren Says She's Willing To Ban Construction of New Homes in America
2020-01-14
[WESTERNJOURNAL] If your home isn’t carbon neutral, Elizabeth Being Native American has been part of my story since the day I was born Warren
...Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts, who traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that. She had a DNA test to prove her lineage and it turns out she's colorless...
might not let you build it. And if that means no new homes get built, she’s OK with that.

In an appearance on MSNBC’s "Morning Joe" on Wednesday, the Massachusetts senator and fading presidential candidate talked about her Thunberg-lite plan to help end climate change. (Climate crisis? Catastrophe? What are we going with these days?)

During her appearance, Warren was asked what she’d do to "change the tide of U.S. policy on the issue of climate change" and acted as if she’d been thrown the softball of all softballs.

She promised "to do everything a president can do all by herself, that is, the things you don’t have to do by going to Congress." This includes putting an end to energy mining and drilling on federal lands or offshore and "not having a coal lobbyist as head of the Environmental Protection Agency."

You might not be surprised to learn that’s a dig at Andrew Wheeler, President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
’s EPA administrator, who was previously an attorney representing a coal producer.

Warren then moved on to her plan for housing, which she said was borne out of the dire predictions scientists have been making.

"What scares me is every time you go back to the scientists, they tell you two things," the senator said. "It’s worse than we thought, and we have less time.

"That means we’ve got to be willing to do things, for example, like regulation. By 2028, no new buildings, no new houses, without a zero carbon footprint."

And she’s coming for your car and electricity bill, too.

"By 2030, trucks ‐ light-duty trucks and cars, zero carbon footprint. By 2035, all production of electricity, zero carbon footprint," Warren said.

#17  Congratulations to the insightful voting constituency that put her in the Congress. Very nicely done.

#16  Irony of ironies: in her earlier incarnation, Fauxcahontas was a teepee house-flipper!

This individual truly has no shame

#15  And the fact that every prediction these "scientists" made in the past about the present failed, doesn't bother you senator?

#14  "What scares me is every time you go back to the scientists, they tell you two three things," the senator said. "It’s worse than we thought, and we have less time and we need more grant money."

#7  Their property suddenly becomes more valuable as supply disappears. Notice she doesn't suggest to level all homes that don't meet the proposed standards. Them's that have got. Them's that don't get screwed. Can you say 'ruling class' boys and girls? BTW, where in the Constitution does it give the national government such powers? /rhet question

#4  Daft. In fifteen years, all gas, coal, and oil to be replaced by solar and wind, since hydro can't be expanded and the greens won't allow nuclear.

It can't happen, and if it is seriously tried, there will be societal breakdown and chaos, followed by violent revolution.

#3  The Democrats cant actually campaign on anything that middle America wants and that *works* because Republicans already own those positions. If Republicans would simply wake up and grasp that fact, they could put the pedal to the metal and wallop them in virtually every level of government worth winning.
