Supporters of Green New Deal Celebrate Earth Day by Recycling Failure

April 24, 2023

Four years after the first attempt failed to pass, supporters of the Green New Deal reintroduced the controversial bill just before Earth Day. One of the sponsors of the bill, New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) famously said the world would end in 12 years. 

Yet, despite the end of the world allegedly being at stake, AOC failed to bring this bill for a vote in the last Congress when her party held a majority. In 2019, the Green New Deal failed to pass the Senate when it didn’t receive a single vote in support.

Power The Future Founder and Executive Director Daniel Turner, 

“Everyone knows this bill won’t pass, yet it’s being recycled again because supporters believe pathetic political games are more important than results. While America’s families are struggling to make ends meet, politicians are more preoccupied with appeasing the green billionaires to bankroll their reelection campaign.”
