Alexandria accounting Vermont legislators promised to reduce

The Green New Deal proposed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez D today excludes nuclear energy from the proposed mix. If it were ever actually attempted nationally, it would increase greenhouse gas emissions just as a similar effort did in Vermont.

Vermont is home to Ocasio-Cortez allies, and Green New Deal advocates, Senator Bernie Sanders and climate activist Bill McKibben. Both insist the world can be powered on renewables alone. But consider whats actually happened in their own state.

In 2005, Vermont legislators promised to reduce emissions 25 below 1990 levels by 2012, and 50 below 1990 levels by 2028, through the use of renewables and energy efficiency only.Whats happened since? Vermonts emissions rose 16.3. Thats more twice as much as national emissions rose during the same period.

Did Vermont fail to do energy efficiency, which the Green New Deal and green groups like Natural Resources Defense Council NRDC claim is the most important way to reduce emissions?Nope. In 2018, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy ranked Vermont among the top five states for aggressive action on energy efficiency for the fifth year in a row.
