MICHELLE CORDERO: From the Heritage Foundation, I'm Michelle Cordero and this is "Heritage Explains."
The Green New Deal. You've probably heard about it by now. It's the major climate and energy initiative spearheaded by New York's newest radical Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The plan aims to fundamentally transform how Americans produce energy, harvest crops, raise livestock, build homes, drive cars, and manufacturer goods. Essentially, the way we all live our lives, all within 10 years.
CORDERO: Ocasio-Cortez says that she and her liberal colleagues are calling for a "national industrial economic mobilization plan, not seen since World War II."
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: Even the solutions that we have considered big and bold are nowhere near the scale of the actual problem that climate change presents to us, to our country, and to the world.
