Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Monday deleted a message in which she appeared to cheer a historic drop in oil prices as an opportunity to invest in “green infrastructure to save our planet.”

Ocasio-Cortez wrote on social media in response to news about oil prices falling to “negative values.”

“You absolutely love to see it,” the freshman congresswoman said in response. “This along with record low interest rates means it’s the right time for a worker-led, mass investment in green infrastructure to save our planet.”

The lawmaker ended her tweet with “*cough*,” implying that the price crash vindicated her previous environmental activism.

Moments later, Ocasio-Cortez removed the post and replaced it with a more somber tone, arguing it was a “snapshot” of a “turning point” for the climate change movement.

“Fossil fuels are in long-term structural decline. This along w/ low interest rates means it‘s the right time to create millions of jobs transitioning to renewable and clean energy,” the New York Democrat wrote. “A key opportunity.”

Someone slept through economics class.


If oil is cheap, there is absolutely no reason to buy into the "green new deal".

IIRC part of her double major is in economics.  So she was asleep for the whole 4 years.

Given the totally brain dead tone deaf things she spouts about the economy and business in general...her parents need to demand a full refund from Boston University on whatever the amount of tuition they shelled out for her "education".

Clearly she learned nothing at all.
