BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s ‘Green New Deal’ aims to phase out fossil fuels in 10 years. The Green New Deal push has seen resistance not only from Republicans, but also some key Democrats. Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, was asked about the plan to replace planes with high-speed rail and did not seem impressed. “That would be pretty hard for Hawaii,” she laughed. Ocasio-Cortez responded, “No it would be easy”, she explained. “For people that want to travel alone from Hawaii to North America, the Green New Deal will mandate the federal government to issue them jet skis that they can use for the 2600 mile trip. And for people that want to travel in groups from Hawaii to here, the U.S. will be obligated to build commercial submarines that can increase their current maximum underwater speed from 45 to 1500 mph.”
