This version of the AWED Newsletter is dedicated to a single topic: the proposed US Green New Deal (GND). The next issue will revert to our normal format about general Energy and Global Warming reports.

One reason the GND was chosen to be focused on here, is that it is a superior indication of how politicized scientific and economic matters have become.

The GND is also a relatively rare major blunder by the Progressive Left. There are at least two significant reasons why it is an enormous political mistake:

1- the GND is technically impossible (e.g., here) — so such a proposal reveals that the Left has a profound disconnect from reality, and

2- the GND would bankrupt the US — so this scheme exposes the Left’s true anti-American agenda.…

“In the daunting math of climate action, people’s choices and government policies aren’t adding up…. If it sounds downbeat, that’s because it is.”

“Climate scientists and policy experts realize that they walk a fine line between jolting consumers and policymakers into action and immobilizing them with paralyzing pessimism about the world’s ability to hit climate targets…. [MIT scientist John] Sterman said the world has missed the chance to contain warming without huge disruptions.

– Stephen Mufson, ‘A kind of dark realism’: Why the climate change problem is starting to look too big to solve.’ Washington Post, December 4, 2018.

Oh, how the free-market climate realists (science, economics, politics) feel vindicated. The mainstream press has (belatedly) announcing the Carbon Tax politically dead and a distraction for the whole climate debate.…

The Alliance for Wise Energy Decisions (AWED) is an informal coalition of individuals and organizations interested in improving national, state, and local energy and environmental policies. Our premise is that technical matters like these should be addressed by using Real Science (please consult WiseEnergy.org for more information).

A key element of AWED’s efforts is public education. Towards that end, every three weeks we put together a newsletter to balance what is found in the mainstream media about energy and the environment. We appreciate MasterResource for their assistance in publishing this information.
